Celtic Mirrors: Made between about 300 BCE and 100 CE, they were buried in the tombs of queens and other noble women, or else in treasure hordes. Most come from Britain, a few from the nearby parts of France and the Netherlands.
They are made of bronze or other copper alloys. Their designs are one of the glories of Celtic art, variations on the same swirling, spiral themes.
The diameter varies between 15 and 30 centimeters (6 inches and 1 foot).
