The Reliquary

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

The Box of a Thousand Footsteps

A teak reliquary carved with a procession of elephants, taken from an Assam shrine and followed by a spectral herd.

An empty pavilion cage of dark carved wood from which a cricket's song may still be heard beneath the Mid-Autumn moon.

An empty bottle of cut glass and tarnished silver that preserved youth by spending the wearer's remaining years.

A squat gray idol from the resting grounds of Mitla whose hollow eyes enforce an ancient rule of exchange.

A pale wooden four-stringed instrument whose Harvest Moon melody attracts one listener too many.

A growing host of winged stone sentinels whose vigilance charms transform every threat to the Caravan into another guardian.
