DESCRIPTION:
|
Decorated with two facing figures in tunics wearing Phrygian caps who represent the Dioscuri. The back of the handle is decorated with diamond pattern at the base and diagonal pattern down the handle ending in a ram's head. The back of the mirror, which would have been polished to view one's reflection, has a museum collection number in the center. No restoration with several flan cracks in the metal. Amazing olive green patina.
