Extract

Among the antiquities in the collection of the Department of Archaeology and Ethnography in the City Museum and Art Gallery, Birmingham, are four bronze mirrors. Three have not previously been published and the fourth, although first noted in 1838, had been lost from sight since the early years of this century. This note has been compiled at the suggestion of the Keeper as a record of one aspect of the Birmingham collection. The writer also hopes that it will remind other students that excellent material may as often be found in the provincial museums of Britain, as in the national collections.
