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

The disc of this bronze hand-mirror is supported by a figure of a winged Victory (Nike), perhaps personifying the triumph of beauty. The disc is ancient but did not originally belong to this mirror; the missing handle was probably made of ivory.
