Hand mirror with Nike (Victory) as support at The British Museum, London

The disc of this bronze hand-mirror rests firmly on a figure of winged Victory, who personifies the triumph of beauty with unyielding poise. The disc itself is ancient, yet it was never originally part of this mirror; the missing handle was likely crafted from ivory, its elegant presence still felt despite its absence.
