This appears to be an ancient or heavily weathered bronze mirror. It has a circular shape with a handle or stem protruding from the bottom. The surface shows significant patina and corrosion, with areas of reddish-brown rust and purple-colored oxidation. There are also patches where the original metal surface is visible in a lighter, grayish tone. The texture appears rough and pitted, likely due to centuries of environmental exposure. This type of mirror was common in various ancient civilizations, particularly in Bronze Age cultures, and was made by polishing bronze to achieve a reflective surface, though this example has clearly lost its reflective properties over time.
