[QUOTE="Raccoon1977, post: 2966500, member: 17253"]Thank you! Yes, I was quite surprised. I had bought it to sell but it went into my collection instead!! It actually looks fairly untouched on the other side - it has a piece of cloth that doesn’t look disturbed at all. I don’t think it’s woven hair as it’s too fine but I could be wrong. It might even possibly be a relic? Yes! The backside of the mirror is polished like a mirror. I’ll post to picture down in the bottom. I think it is probably on top of ceramic, however the back is closed so I can’t tell for sure. I have looked at it through my loupe and it is super smooth so if it isn’t reverse painted then it is protected by some sort of sealant. The back in front of the locket are exactly the same, and the back of the painting is a smooth gold piece. I’m posting a pic at the bottom for reference. I really appreciate everyone’s help and discussion![/QUOTE]
