Description
Ca. AD 100 - 300. A beautiful ancient Roman bronze mirror featuring a flat circular body, with a smooth front face, that has now been worn out due to age, yet still retains good reflectivity. Mounted on a professional acrylic display stand. Bronze mirrors such as this were highly valued by individuals in the Roman Empire, on account of the importance given to appearance and grooming. They would have therefore been present in every aristocratic household, and were also buried with the deceased as grave goods. For a similar example, see The British Museum, Museum Number: 1856,1226.824 Size: 95mm x 95mm; Weight: 125g Provenance: Prince collection, 1990s-2014, acquired from Jean-David Cahn Auktionen.
