Mercury mirrors are a type of ancient mirror that uses a thin sheet of mercury to create a reflective surface.

Mercury was poured onto the tin plate and distributed evenly, creating a reflective surface.
Excess mercury was removed and the glass sealed with a lead or wooden rim.
Characteristics:

The manufacturing process was laborious and required craftsmanship.
They were expensive and accessible only to the wealthier classes.
The mirror is in god conditions, considering the époque.
