Slightly better details in this photo... "A text on the case's hand reads, 'The good god, lord of the Two Lands, Lord of Ritual, King of Upper and Lower Egypt, Nebkheprure, son of Ra, Tutankhamun, Ruler of Southern Heliopolis (Thebes).' Additional inscriptions run around the loop; silver knobs were used to hold the lid to the case." (Zahi Hawass, Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs (National Geographic 2005), page 258) "The mirror which it originally contained would probably have been been pear-shaped, a form of mirror first used in the New Kingdom. Mirrors played a part in funerary symbolism, and many early tomb stelae, especially of women, show mirrors in cases below the chair of the deceased. This case was surely made for Tutankhamun's burial, and it may be assumed that the mirror it contained would have been made of silver or gold, the container itself is lined with thin sheet silver." (T.G.H. James, Tutankhamun, Metro books/White Star 2000) page 191)
