Five thousand years ago in Skara Brae someone carved themselves a little friend. In all times humans walk the Earth, they make themselves little friends.
A whale bone carving in a museum setting, dated 2900-2400BC. It depicts a little guy, with a simple face and round body, with a notable belly button.

Abissine, celebrating their conquest of Abyssinia. You might know it as conchiglie. Or even just "shells." There are two others, both lesser known. Tripoline for Tripoli, which is a ridged wavy noodle, assabesi also small shells but without ridges.

As a bonus there was also this set of crememorative stamps. I hope that they get picked up by a collector who will care for them.

@graham.loadingreadyrun.com I thought you might like to see this complete collection of Moscow 1980 olympic games badges each with Misha carrying out a different sport that popped into my local charity shop.

In his card is written "You annoy me less than other people". Sugar plums are made by tumbling a small seed in sugar until it forms a large ball. Their name comes from the resemblance to plums and not because they are made with plums.
