Silver mirror
The type of mirror with a horizontal handle originated in the Roman world during the first century B.C. It was subsequently adopted in various cultures of Asia and finally died out in the ninth to tenth century A.D. In this example, the classical origins are clear in the leaf-shaped attachments of the handle, the Herakles knot, and the wreath around the circumference of the disk.
