The deflection angle of a light ray can be arbitrarily large near a light sphere. The time-symmetrical shape of light curves of a pair of light rays reflected by a light sphere of a lens object does not depend on the details of the lens object. We consider retrolensing light curves of sunlight with deflection angles pi and 3 pi by an Ellis wormhole, which is the simplest Morris-Thorne wormhole. If an Ellis wormhole with a throat parameter a = 10(11) km is 100 pc away from an observer and if the Ellis wormhole, the observer, and the Sun are aligned perfectly in this order, the apparent magnitudes of a pair of light rays with deflection angles pi and 3 pi become 11 and 18, respectively. The two pairs of light rays make a superposed light curve with two separable peaks and they break down time symmetry of a retrolensing light curve. The observation of the two separated peaks of the light curves gives us information on the details of the lens object. If the observer can also separate the pair of the images with the deflection angle pi into a double image, he or she can say whether the retrolensing is caused by an Ellis wormhole or a Schwarzschild black hole.
