    I just bought this A5 size mirror in Athens, Greece. To me it looks masonic but I haven't found any symbol which corresponds. It ha a small signature which I believe is arabic. I cannot distinguish any period, it has a thin wood frame.

    I would need your help guys to:

    a)determine if its masonic or not
    b)if it is, to which logia belongs and which place in hierarchy
    c)where it comes from

    :) maybe that way I'll be able to determine the age of it.

    Thank you!!

      Hi!
      Not masonic related... It depicts a fibula brooch :-)

      Writing is a mystery for me... You may explore this site (in French...)

      Hi Kyratango! Thank you so much!! What about this: Masonic All Seeing EyeThe inscription is in arabic and it seems to say something such as "eye of my eye" (this is everything my Bahrein friend could read). What do you think? :) mysteryyyyyyy

      Well I just spoke to a mourrochian friend and she agrees with you, its berber...but the mystery continues about how old this can be ;)
