Call me mad if you like, but this piece was one of a dozen or so identical specimens in a fine old jewellery shop, hidden away in the narrow walkways of the medieval town, close to where I live. She, along with her compatriots would be adorned by this weeks treasures - necklaces, the odd earring, whatever. I found myself regularly going out of my way to pass the window, just to admire their form. The day came I could resist no longer. I hoped he wouldn't be offended when he found the object of my desire to be the mini mannequins upon which his fine wares were perched, and not his very splendid hand-crafted fare. I guess he can't have been that bothered, he sold me one of his harem without quibble and I gained a treasure of my own.
