Three finely carved ivory mirror handles from Cyprus are closely related in form, subject matter, and style. To these we may now add a fourth example, albeit preserved only as a fragment. Found in the British excavations at Enkomi, this piece has been regarded hitherto as a pyxis fragment. Technical considerations prove that this cannot be the case and that the fragment must belong to a mirror handle, closely comparable to the famous ‘griffin-slayer’, also in the British Museum
