Ca. 5th-4th century BC. A bronze Graeco-Scythian type mirror featuring a circular face which was originally the reflective surface, a handle shaped like a fluted column and a standing horse to the base. Graeco-Scythian mirrors resemble Greek hand mirrors of the Late Archaic and Early Classical periods in shape but are more massive in their proportions. The view held by archaeologists is that Olbia (Ὀλβία Ποντική in Greek) in modern Ukraine was the chief centre of production of these mirrors. Cf. Hoffmann, H. (1965). Graeco-Scythian Mirrors.
