Question about Purse Items

We have encountered
chameleons
and the exploration card states
if you have a "Mirror" purse card they ignore you
. We have a purse card named
Mirror of the soul (C1120)
. Does this count as a
mirror
despite not having the keyword at the bottom?

Generically, does a purse card have to have a given keyword on the bottom black strip to count as that sort of item?

I know we could house rule this thematically if we wanted to but would be interested in knowing the intent or whether the keyword might be missing from this card.

We have found another item, a trinket, which has the keyword in its title and is clearly a
mirror
but does not have the keyword at the bottom of the item in the white text on black background script.

For things like Weapons the word Weapon appears as a keyword at the bottom of the card so it feels like there is some inconsistency here.

I do believe that when they mean to check something against a keyword, they'd state it "if you have a card with the "mirror" keyword" (I'll double check what I am saying when I can -> I looked quickly and found a card requesting you to have a card_type_purse with a specific keyword).
If they don't state that, I'd assume you have (by the rules) to have the card with the specific name required.

there is a card called "mirror"


Of course, as you said, an house rule to use any kind of mirror makes sense thematically.

No in this case you absolutely need a
"Mirror"
, another similar object cannot be used.

So, we finally got a
Mirror
and there is no corresponding keyword. I suspect I'd be happy to use any item with the word
Mirror
in the title next time around.
