Congo pellet bell - Donna Summer was right about ringing it

 

This has to be one of my favourite museums. Go and see an internationally important collection of fish hooks, a witch in a silver bottle and a really accurate waterproof maritime chart made out of bamboo sticks, seagrass and conch shells.

Its in Oxford UK,Pitt Rivers is a treasure house of filched, found, filed and fondled objects from all over the world.

I spent lots of magic days there drawing the musical instruments.
