Item #: 193

Threat Class: Minimum

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-193 is currently contained in a secure locker at Site-01 but will be transported to Site-19 once that facility's construction has been complete. As it relates to the field of magical artifacts, SCP-193 is currently under the ownership of the Department of Anomalous Items and any testing involving it must require the permission of the Department's head, Winton Montgomery, also known as O5-2. SCP-193 must not be used recreationally, usage of it in this way will result in demotion.

Description: SCP-193 is a two-meter tall, 50cm-wide, reflective glass (also known as a mirror or looking glass) encased within an oak wood frame. The first human being to look at SCP-193 will experience their reflection as they would with a regular looking glass. However, following this, they will report themselves focusing on a specific memory from their past in an unusual way. This typically lasts for about 0-3 hours, with the longest time being around 2 hours and 58 minutes. The next person who views SCP-193 after this will have the memory, the one that the first subject reported as unusually focusing on, be displayed to them as an image or mirage by SCP-193. They will then report focusing on a memory of theirs in an unusual way, similar to the first subject, lasting the same amount of hours. This chain is broken if SCP-193 is not looked at for more than 10 hours, after which the process can begin again.

Addendum 193.1 - History: SCP-193 was a part of a collection of items originally donated to the Foundation in 1892 by an individual known as "The Collector of Strange Items" (PoI-GREEN-003). Amongst this collection included other SCP objects such as SCP-005 and samples of SCP-059. This donation was made in part due to O5-1 and PoI-GREEN-003 having been acquaintances in the past, despite them going their separate ways following the formation of the SCP Foundation.

The donation also included several notes handwritten by PoI-GREEN-003 attached to each of the items, explaining their past history and purposes. The note attached to SCP-193 contained the following information:
