Fletcher Fund, 1926, (MMA 26.8.97, 26.8.98)

From info card: "The handles of these two mirrors were made of wood (restored) covered with gold foil. The faces with cow's ears are emblems of Hathor, the goddess of beauty. The blue and black inlays and the lower tip of the larger mirror are restored."

Queen Kawit, a wife of Mentuhotep II, is attended to on her sarcophagus, and has her mirror to inspect the hairdresser's work
The male attendant pouring the Queen a drink says, "For your ka, O mistress."
The KA is an aspect of the soul meaning vital life force.
