Microscope substage mirror

Originally a microscope substage mirror, this mirror has been modified. It is a double-sided concave mirror in a brass frame, attached (at a later stage) to a wooden frame. The wooden frame could possibly have been used to mount the mirror onto a wall. This mirror would probably have been used for illumination rather than imaging.
