A complete mirror, in two pieces, the disk and handle separate. The disk is made from bronze which would have been highly polished.
Mirrors were both functional and symbolic, the handle often fashioned like a papyrus stalk or the goddess Hathor. From the New Kingdom onwards the handles were often made from metal as opposed to the wood and ivory of earlier periods.

Miroir complet constitué de deux pièces séparées: le disque et le manche. Le disque, en bronze, devait être soigneusement poli. Les miroirs étaient à la fois fonctionnels et symboliques. Souvent, le manche affectait la forme d'une tige de papyrus ou de la déesse Hathor. A partir du Nouvel Empire, les manches étaient souvent en métal; auparavant, les matériaux utilisés étaient le bois et l'ivoire.

Ein vollständiger Spiegel aus zwei Teilen, der Scheibe und dem Griff. Die Scheibe besteht aus Bronze, die einst auf Hochglanz poliert gewesen war.
Spiegel hatten sowohl funktionalen als auch symbolischen Wert, der Griff hatte oft die Gestalt eines Papyrustengels oder der Göttin Hathor. Vom Neuen Reich an wurden die Griffe häufig aus Metall hergestellt und nicht wie in früheren Zeiten aus Holz oder Elfenbein.
