Clay pots of unknown provenance from my parents' basement. Probably African, maybe Kenyan. They have several of these, all around 12" to 15"....

I have these two pages out of what I think is an old German (?) bible. They've been in my family for years, but I have no idea of what they may...
The mirror was dismounted from the cabinet. It had the 1x2 vertical slats that mount it to the back of the cabinet. The mirror is a full circle...
I saw this at our ReStore. The mirror is about 54” across and fully round. The cabinet is about 24” high. There’s no sign of legs. It looks...
