NJ 28 67 A remarkable copper-alloy Iron Age mirror handle was found by metal-detecting near Speyslaw. It has a ring terminal and flared top slotted to take a polished iron mirror plate (now lost, but iron corrosion survives). Its trumpet-style decoration suggests it is a NE Scottish product in the ‘massive’ metalwork tradition. L 131.5mm; ring W 52mm.

Claimed as Treasure Trove (TT 122/19) and allocated to National Museums Scotland
