Dear members,
we have recently analysed a mirror which is fixed in an ivory box. This
ivory box is decorated in a french gothic style (XIV AD). Results show that
the mirror is made of a bronze which contain 30 % Sn and 3 % As. Does
anybody know other examples of medieval high-tin bronzes mirrors ?
Thanks in advance
