Lot of silvered mirror pieces. 98 grams total, about 1" to 3" each. To make mirrors in colonial days, sheets of copper were coated with a thin silver veneer that was polished to a shine, as these small shards of varying thicknesses demonstrate (the 7 year's bad luck long since passed). Found in a Spanish colonial area in the southern Caribbean, ca. 1590.
