I had another look at the mirror today and it is not shiny, but dull. The photo caught the reflection of the lights in the space. You best come the BL and see for yourself. 😃

If you’re wondering what an obsidian mirror looks like come to the Secret Maps exhibition @britishlibrary.bsky.social. The British Museum kindly lend this beautiful specimen. Apologies for the bad image-reflections! 🙄
Love the podcast- the best philosophy lesson one can imagine.

Awful thing to happen. I hope she will recover well. Animals are so resilient, and cats especially so. Good luck!
