If you wanted to make something to reflect light, would you use copper or brass?
For a story, I want to reflect light. There is no glass, Think of the bronze age, they can cast copper or bronze, which would you use and how would you make it flat? Hammer and polish it? roll it between stone rollers
They are very similar, bronze is harder, so it should resist dents better. They would both hold a polish equally well. Copper would be easier to form, if strength is not important.
rolling between stone rollers would not be practical. Hammering would be best, with increasingly finer taps. Then polish it with pumice, of different grades, starting with coarse and working down to fine grade.
