It is certainly not easy to depict a mirror in stone, which is why one had to be content with the frame.
The mirror was often the sign of the booksellers or printers. There one speaks of the Spieghel der Natuur & Spieghel Historiael (= the mirror of nature and of history) and also of the layout.
It is not known whether the image on this gablestone was chosen for this reason. It could also be the sign of a mirror maker.
