It is certainly not easy to represent a mirror in stone, so one had to be content with the frame.
But the stone-cutter understood how to turn the frame into something beautiful according to the Louis fashion of the time.
There is a relationship with booksellers and printers. There they talk about the mirror of nature & the mirror of history, and also about the sheet mirror. It is not known whether the image on this Gable stone was chosen for that reason. It could also simply be an indication of a mirror maker.
