Wunderkammer :: Seven to go

No matter how bad things might be, from time to time I DO come across something that gives me a warm glow of envy. Kelly Searsmith’s LiveJournal is one such instance. It hides a nascent Wunderkammer, as yet small, but consisting of seven perfect exhibits.

From this Sumerian person (with whom, I must admit, I feel a strange sense of kinship), to spiked ivory pleasure balls and the death mask of Mary, Queen of Scots, this small collection of emblematic objects hints, like all good Wunderkammern, at an idiosyncratic new taxonomic order.
