Description
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.

Complete spiegel, in twee delen, namelijk schijf en handvat. De schijf is van brons, dat ooit zeer gepolijst <!-->moet zijn geweest. Spiegels hadden een functie, maar waren ook symbolen. Het handvat was vaak in de vorm van een papyrusstengel of de godin Hathor. Vanaf het Nieuwe Rijk werden handvatten dikwijls van metaal gemaakt in tegenstelling tot voorheen, toen ze uit hout en ivoor werden vervaardigd.
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.
Specchio completo, in due pezzi, il disco ed il manico separati. Il disco è in bronzo che evidentemente era altamente levigato e lucidato. Gli specchi avevano un utilizzo sia funzionale che simbolico, il manico aveva spesso la forma di uno stelo di papiro o della dea Hathor. A partire dal Nuovo Regno i manici erano spesso in metallo mentre in epoche più antiche erano fabbricati in legno ed avorio.
Espelho inteiro, de duas peças, com disco e pé separados. O disco é feito em bronze, fortemente polido. Os espelhos eram funcionais e simbólicos, com pé normalmente trabalhado em forma de caule de papiro ou em forma da deusa Hathor. Apartir do Império Novo, os pés eram geralmente feitos em metal, em oposiçao aos de madeira e ferro de períodos mais antigos.
Espejo completo, en dos piezas separadas: el disco y el mango de espejo. El disco está hecho de bronce que habría sido muy pulido. Los espejos tiene una función doble, funcional y simbólica; a menudo, el asa tiene forma de diosa Hathor.
