======================================

Unknown Object

I am here to delve into the unknown. I am going to show you
a golden object ... alas it doth not have a name for it is unknown.
However ... I will tell you something interesting about this thing ...
and that is that there are two of them. Yuppers folks. Two objects
in gold ... a matched pair in fact ... and not only is its identity
unknown ... but its function is unknown as well.

The challenge: How much can one say about something that is
totally unknown? And how beautiful can an unknown golden
object without understandable function truly be? Hoo-ha! You
would be surprised. I'll tell you this ... the image of this object
was photographed on a mirror ... so that it looks as though there
were two of them ... which there are though only one was photographed.

Challenge number two: How long can I hold your attention with this
twaddle? Let's first give this thing a name. I shall call it
Zach--which is Yiddish for "Thing" ... till you get to see it. It is
believed that Zach somewhat resembles Iranian works in style and in
the use of inlay. It is also believed that Zach was made on the
western borders of the Achaemenid empire.

Zach at one time had been on exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of
Art. But he, along with his twin, had been removed because of their
fragility.

I will venture that you will each and every one enjoy Zach and his
looks. And so ... in that spirit ... I invite you all to let me know
what you think he is and what he does. If I get enough responses on
this--and this is not to mean that any of you should feel under
pressure to write--I will then post ... with the suggestor's anonymity
guaranteed--your best guesses. Should be a hoot ... no?

So ... without further ado ....

For those of you who are new to this thing called
Tidbits...may I direct you to my home page at www.tyler-adam.com where
you will scroll down the left side menu till you get to the area that
says Tidbits Graphics ... and then click on the link that says: Zach
.... in order to view a gorgeous bit of the unknown.

And there ya have it.
That's it for this week folks.
Catch you all next week.
Benjamin Mark
