Abstract

I byen Kapadvanj fremstillede man indtil begyndelsen af 2020'erne små konkave spejle på traditionel vis. Der blæses kugleformede emner med en diameter på omkring 60 cm eller mere. I varm tilstand forspejles de indvendig med smeltet bly. Efter afkøling slås kuglerne i store stykker, der efterfølgende klippes til runde spejle med en saks. Denne teknik blev også brugt i Europa, men forsvandt i løbet af 1500 tallet. Denne etnoarkæologiske undersøgelse klarlægger produktionsgangen.
