The cabinet catalogue
The Reliquary
The collection is never quite arranged the same way twice. Six objects have been drawn from the cabinets for your examination.
The Dream Box
An ornate wooden box, no larger than a book, whose carvings of moons, stars, and sleeping faces promise each visitor the perfect life they most desire.
Open the recordThe 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.
Open the recordThe Eternal Guardians
A growing host of winged stone sentinels whose vigilance charms transform every threat to the Caravan into another guardian.
Open the recordThe Watcher at the Edge
A burlap-headed scarecrow whose changing gaze warns whether danger approaches from the field, the forest, the farmhouse—or the observer.
Open the recordThe Idol of Mitla
A squat gray idol from the resting grounds of Mitla whose hollow eyes enforce an ancient rule of exchange.
Open the recordThe Instrument of the Seventh Listener
A pale wooden four-stringed instrument whose Harvest Moon melody attracts one listener too many.
