Hi again!
DOC: 1907 Museum catalog of ancient Egyptian mirrors. Catalog entry.
CONTEXT: 44101. Boîte à miroir. - Bois et ivoire. - (pl. XXIII). A separate paragraph after the heading of Couvercle. A l'intérieur de la boîte est, encore, un petit disque [disque is in italics] de miroir dépourvu de son manche. Il est en bronze, mesure 0 m. 125 mill. de long, y compris les 2 centimètres de la tige, sur 11 centimètres de large. Son épaisseur n'est pas même d'un millimètre; il est plat, rigide ***et ne présente aucune autre particularité***.

ATTEMPT: A small mirror disk, its handle missing, is still inside the box. It is made of bronze and measures 12.5 cm long, including 2 cm for the tang, by 11 cm wide. Its only other noteworthy features are that it is flat, rigid, and not even 1-mm thick.
ISSUE: Usually "distinctive features" fits nicely for my translation, but here I'm not sure what my author is emphasizing because of where he puts it! Do you think these features include that it's made of bronze and its dimensions?
Thank you in advance for any opinions!

Explanation:
Perhaps 'distinguishing' would work better here?

Of course, you could still say "presents no..." in EN too.
