If you weren't quite reflective enough in our last post and need some additional hand-held assistance, might I recommend this lovely 60's mod girl mirror. Comprised of some kind of hand painted paper mâché / textured composite material over a sturdy wood interior, her pale flesh really makes those ruby lips and rosy cheeks pop, while her long braided black hair, complete with gold bows, intertwines to create the handle. And though she might be on the opposite side of the mirror itself, doth she not seem quite reflective upon something as well?

Pretty nice! She looks a lot like a greeting card illustration. It's a really neat mirror, though the reflective side looks a wee bit like a toilet seat covered in a shower cap.
I'm wondering how fragile this might be, especially under repeated uses as a mirror. Still, it's pretty cool!
I like the dots running down the eyelids; not sure what it represents (a style at the time?) and the small fade of eye shadow.
Designing the handle to look like one braid was very clever.
A nice bit of ephemera from years past.
