The metal disc with the handle is an ancient mirror.


Archeologist, Aviram Oshri:


“Ancient mirrors were not made of glass like they are today, but rather of bronze. Polished bronze shines like a mirror. It reflects the image, but to do so, it must be polished at a very high level. This mirror may very possibly have been donated to Beit Hankin by my father, I know that he found a mirror in the fields next to Tel Re’ala and donated it to Beit Hankin.”
