Reliquary

I have always had a strong interest in human history and the residue of the past. this section showcases pieces from my personal collection, accumulated over many years. Many are of little historical importance, but are interesting due to their age or features. Some pieces are historically relevant and might be of interest to researchers.
All pieces will be presented at minimum with photographs and a brief description. More significant items will receive more attention. I will do my best to piece together the story and to transcribe/translate significant passages.

The more individuals capable of watching the world theater calmly and critically, the less danger of monumental mass stupidities - first of all, wars.
