more from the cache of finds i unearthed in my loft yesterday: a pair of poison bottles from the thames estuary. the first is from disinfectant producer sanizal and is labelled as poison; the second is one of my favourite bottle finds; it says 'not to be taken'.
an old green flask shaped glass bottle with the words SANIZAL POISON on ita smaller old brown glass vial with lettering that's a bit hard to make out but says 'not to be taken'

games: special delivery, jinn jenie and spectrum boulder dash conversion female games programmers are thinner on the ground than female games players. apart from carol shaw at activision, the only active female programmer we've discovered is hanan samara, the brains behind such games as special delivery and the recently released jinn jenie for the cbm 64.
hanan's background is in maths and operations research but now she runs her own software company called dalali software.

actually top rightmost could be a gaming piece, i'm not sure. it's a thin bit of bone & has subtle concentric grooves the way roman game pieces often do, but where the hole in the middle is would usually be more of a slight indentation.

A gorgeous specimen for #FossilFriday : the internal cast of a Jurassic bivalve (Pleuromya cf. uniformis), turned into a talisman with a religious Islamic inscription : ‘There is no god but Allāh [and] Muḥammad is His Prophet’ #PaleoSky ⚒️🏺🧪🦑🦕
Fig. 1. Pleuromya cf. uniformis (Sowerby 1813), Jurassic, Morocco. Internal mould of articulated specimen bearing a religious inscription in high relief. Museo Geominero, Madrid, catalogue number MGM-7809X. (a) Left valve view; (b) right valve view; (c) anterior view; (d) dorsal view; and (e) detail showing striations visible on the surface of the letters (left arrow) and how a fissure in the rock also affects the letter (right arrows), indicating that the letters were carved in high relief and do not represent surface adherences of any foreign material. The thick patina of dirt that covered the specimen, originally dark grey in colour, was removed by washing with detergents, alternating with immersions in hydrogen peroxide.

The Great Pustaha is a large Batak magic book from North Sumatra. Written by nine generations of datu/priest, it contains spells and potions to destroy villages, kill enemies, inspire love, and heal. The cover has a carving of Naga Padoha, a giant primordial serpent of the underworld. #WyrdWednesday

The creature is covered with symbols and surrounded by small human-like and animal-like figures, along with small texts.Photograph of The Great Pustaha when closed. The covers are made of black wood with a carving of Naga Padoha, tied with a twine to help opening the book.

A cover that reads:
Spirit of the Dungeon
An OSR Menagerie Monster Manual

The cover is a faded beige-green fabric, with a textured red frame. Between the subtitle and my name, there is al illustration of a southern lapbird head coming out of a circle, with its beak open.
The font of the title is similar to the font used by Spirit of Halloween.
