This mirror is engraved with the toilette of Malavisch, with the central seated figure surrounded by four other draped and nude females. The name Malavisch is inscribed on her stool and there are four other indistinct names above the heads of the other figures.
For a discussion on toilette scenes, see N. Thomson de Grummond (ed.), A Guide to Etruscan Mirrors, Tallahassee, 1982, pp. 177-179, and in particular a similar mirror with Malavisch in the British Museum, pl. 95. According to de Grummond, a later Hellenistic date can be given to the above example due to the nudity of the attendant figures.
