Excellent reading copy

There is a modern myth that widows would collect their tears in the bottle and empty them on a grave

Beautifully worn with some holes in the chalk and a chip at the base

I was so delighted to find this poignant piece: It’s for a baby who died at only 2 years & 10 months in 1870

with a lock of his golden blonde hair at the top

though the hinge needs to be repaired

which are usually missing since they fall out easily

this is an example of the smallest

speak no evil

and even anecdotes offering comfort in the wake of loss

very small holes here and there to the beige silk that are not noticeable beneath the lace
