bronze mirror case(?) with handle The side with the handle is flat and apparently undecorated. The opposite side slopes to a raised edge and a center raised nearly as high as the edge, and is decorated by encircling raised lines (broad ones borded by narrow ones). The curved edge has a central fillet distinct all round, but this may be due to springing apart in corrosion. Thehandle has no connection with the bronze of the mirror case. The bent-back points of its fastening staples may have held it to a facing of wood or some other perishable stuff or possibly,as it is not in the center, it had no connection with the mirror case? The mirror(?) M 272 fits, with margin within the raised edge of the case. The object has not been cleaned except that the dirt not immediately about the handle has been removed. Considerable corrosion, which has destroyed part of the left side of the handle, which was undercut in cleaning; note that the right side of the handle is in position as found. Outer diam. 0.162 W of edge 0.011 W across bow of handle ca. 0.038
