Description: | An incomplete and bent copper-alloy mirror case of Medieval date. Approximately half of which survives, the remainder of the object is missing due to old breaks, now worn.It is circular with a flat exterior surface and concave interior. On one side is an integrally cast circular pin lug, with a circular hole through the centre. On the opposite side is an integral single oval lug. The exterior surface is decorated with a rounded, open cross in double lines of punched, opposed triangles with a similar pair of straight lines running diametrically between the lugs. The interior surface is undecorated.This mirror case measures 35.59mm in length, 22.17mm in width, 2.47mm in thickness and 4.36g in weight.There are similar examples recorded from London (Egan and Pritchard, 1991, p. 362, no.1715, 1716) and recorded on the PAS database (SF-5F3446), (SF-9A7532).
