What On Earth….
When my father was over from England, Tricky and I took him to a dump site. We poked around a little bit but didn’t find anything of a decent age. My dad appeared with the front end of this item and I said, “OH! Look, it’s part of an ink bottle.” We all started to look for the rest of the bits, and as they slowly fitted together we realized it was…who the heck knows what???
Take a look at the pictures and post a comment at the bottom of the page about what you think it is.
Here are a few other things I found this year.
Looks like an opium or tobacco pipe–by the hollowed out head; but I can’t see where the intake hole is for breathing it in.
That has to be the most unusual item I’ve seen dug at a dump site…I’d have to agree about it being a pipe..but would you want to suck air out of this behind?? Would be interesting to see what this figure represents in Japanese culture.
