This hand mirror, which originally had an ivory handle, reflected the viewer's image in its once highly polished surface.  The back is engraved with a narrative scene, a type of mirror decoration probably invented by the Etruscans. The engraving shows an older man threatening a youth with his sword in the center flanked by two women.  A Greek myth is certainly intended, but the identification is debatable.</div>
