anna. 30. austria. the centre cannot hold.

Another new batch of walnut curio cabinets! (I keep making more because a bunch have sold! Stocking one at a time in my Etsy, but message me if you're interested in more than one, or a custom one)

Iraqi Jewish heart-shaped Amulet bearing the star of David, flower and star ornaments, inscribed with Sh-ddai שַׁדַּי, one of the names of G-d in Judaism and on the backside the Shema or Shema Yisrael (שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל "Hear, O Israel"), one of the most central and foundational prayers of Judaism dating to the first millennium B.C.E.. Used to ward off evil spirits (שדים shedim), negative energies, or the "evil eye" (עין הרע ʿayin haraʿ) while honoring the belief that true protection comes from G-d. Iraq, 1910. (png)

When the 350 year old mummified remains of noblewoman Louise de Quengo were discovered by the French National Institute for Preventive Archaeological Research, this lead heart was found beside her. It contains the preserved heart of her husband.

The remains were found on the burial ground of a convent in Rennes.
