The bronze disk of this mirror is slightly flattened in shape. It has a wooden handle shaped as a papyrus-capital column, whose upper part has two lateral projections and is decorated with two wooden nails and gold sheet. The case of the mirror is also preserved. It is made of wood, and the part on which the disk lay is padded with cloth. Originally, the lid must have been attached to the box by pegs allowing it to slide sideways.
