Mirrors, made of polished gold, silver, copper, or bronze, were part of the cosmetic accessories of women and men. They were sometimes preserved in cases such as this elaborate one in the form of an Ankh, or life sign. It is carved in gold-plated wood and the king's name is inlaid on the lid with colored glass and semiprecious stones.
The interior of the case is lined with silver. The mirror it once contained was not found.
