Reflector and method for manufacturing the same
 A reflector includes a base body made of a metallic material having substantially the same ionization potential as that of aluminum. A reflecting layer made of aluminum is formed over one surface of the base body by vacuum deposition. A light-transmitting water-insoluble inorganic oxide layer is formed on the aluminum reflecting layer. The light-transmitting inorganic oxide layer has its micropores sealed by H.sub.2 O a carboxylate of an iron family element having a low valence.
