Abstract of Item: Silver Broach with secret compartment.

A silver broach, intricate worksmanship (royal artisan), filigree silver. Inlaid mother-of-pearl. Upon examination, a secret compartment under the main jewel (ruby - expensive).

Measurements:
Weight: 30 g
Length: 9 cm.
Width: 3 cm
Origin: Peranakan? (Hints of Majapahit Empire).

I found this broach tucked under a whole pile of fabrics. After a careful cleaning, the item was examined, weighted and catalogued. I theorize the item might have been used in espionage missions. The secret compartment seems to have contained traces of an unknown chemical (which I have duly sent to the Laboratories for an in-depth evaluation). My esteemed colleague in Fabrics And Garments has suggested that this might be a kerosang of some sort.

The silver broach is beguiling and begs to be examined further.

PS: Dear esteemed colleagues, I have catalogued the item under 'Artifact: Clothing'.
PPS: I need to go back to my collection of pterandon bones - there are sightings I need to investigate, but alas! the items! the items!

Right; it's all right to dwell a little on the artifact you're researching, [personal profile] jolantru, but the general goal is to catalogue as much as we can in as short time as we can.

So the pteradon bones come first. The amulet, later.

(translation: More new stuff, less development of current stuff; if you want to work around the theme some more, log in a new artifact around the topic, or textual commentaries. The focus is on the world where these artifacts come from, and Not Us. And yes, the admins occasionally fail on this; we're only human, after all.)
