Description: | Copper alloy medieval mirror case. The mirror case is made from quite thin sheet copper alloy and has a decorated front surface. The front surface has a crude cross pattee shape with incised dots in each quadrant. Medieval mirrors were often kept in a case which was hinged but occasionally they are found as single-shell versions. This example shows no obvious trace of putty to hold a glass in place although the scalloped edge around the circumference of the case may have been bent over to secure the glass. The case weighs 9.95g and measures 44.11mm in diameter and 4.4mm in thickness. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1200
