    I would think a memorial monument as well. Crowned with laurel leaves.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    A memorial image on the top a mirror. A reminder that what we see in the mirror is not permanent? ;)

    Super busy Mother’s day at the shop, steady sales all day. :)

    Thank you all for your replies, I figured if someone went to the trouble of reverse painting this object to be mounted with a mirror it might have a specific meaning such as what fig suggested, many thanks @Figtree3!

    A little momento mori. And timely as one looks into an object of vanity.
