The whale looks so cute! And surprisingly modern looking considering it was made many hundreds of years ago.

Thank you for posting to main! I remember catching this on a rare excursion to Projects and liking it very much.

Oh, this is absolutely wonderful - and inspiring. I love them all.

(Also, Hedgehog on Wheels is the name of my next band.)

Thank you so much for posting this, aniola! It's the most delightful thing I've seen today.

I enjoyed this so much! Exactly the kind of strange and wonderful stumbled-upon thing that makes the internet worth it.

I follow a couple of Twitter accounts that occasionally post archaeologic artifacts like these and they are absolutely delightful (I think one is @Jamie_Woodward_). I may have to go to the art store this weekend.
