    This is small but heavy. It is 7" x 6." Heavy duty chain and hook which does have a flowered design.

    Think it must have been designed to put by a door to check yourself out before answering.

    Chain length is about 6.5."

    Any help is most appreciated. None of the classification seem to fit.

      Of course, a 9 m/m in the other hand is quite reassuring.

      Hi,
      Well. It is a comment, but did not help me one bit. Thanks anyway.

      Could this be the solution? Below I've just copied a couple of points from the article that is linked.

      "When a person died in a room the mirrors had to be covered or turned to face the wall. Failure to do so would result in the deceased person's soul being lost - or they may even turn into a vampire."

      "Even while asleep, it was thought best to cover your mirror as you could be vulnerable to attack from negative spirits or demons during the dark hours. It was also advised, to never place your bed in a place where it is reflected in a mirror."

      Hi,

      Wow. Interesting. Guess it would have worked for sitting shiva too. All mirrors have to be covered. I never thought of anything like that. Thanks ! Interesting traditions/thoughts regarding death. Saw where Norwegians ? open a window after someone dies, so their soul can leave the planet.

      Now I need someone to tell me how the mirror is affixed to the wall to begin with?

      Yeah Gillian. And what about my ceiling mirror over my bed ?!!
