Hello!
DOC: 1907 Museum catalog of ancient Egyptian mirrors. Catalog entry.
CONTEXT: Mirror. - Bronze, wood, and gold. Technique: Le disque est fondu, poli et doré au bain.
ATTEMPTS:
The disk is cast, polished, and gilded, i.e., immersed/plunged in a gold bath.
The disk is cast, polished, and bathed in a gold solution.
I have also found these terms as well: plating bath/gilding bath/wet gilding/water gilding
ISSUE: Not sure which is the best way to translate this phrase as I'm not familiar with the field of metalworking.
Thank you in advance for any feedback!
