The Reliquary
The collection is never quite arranged the same way twice. Six objects have been drawn from the cabinets for your examination.

Open the recordThe Blossoms That Never Wither
A twilight-glazed jar preserving perfect cherry blossoms by borrowing life and time from everything growing nearby.
