Mirror

Mirrors, mirrors everywhere and they have been linked to all kinds of sayings, fables and superstitions. For example, breaking a mirror would bring seven years of bad luck. From long before the Common Era, mirrors were used to look at one’s reflection, but because of the complicated production process, they were expensive items until the eighteenth century.
