I'm enjoying these -- it was wise of you to split these into days and not sweat the delay. Worrying about creating a single interesting post about a whole week often leads me not to post at all, which is stupid.
Soooo ... what in the bejesus is the thing on the green background? I can see jaws, and I s'pose they're burnt. That much information leads me to, um, nowhere.
To quote the accompanying text: :10. Gourd container decorated with human jaws and a poison flask: an ancient war fetish. Mum."
It was in the African exhibit. Most items had a description followed by the tribe with which the artifact was associated, but I'm unfamiliar with the Mum tribe. It might be short for something else (Mubasa or some such).
