For entertainment, like everywhere else. Jes' 'cos you're going through a rough time doesn't mean that entertainment is lost on you. :-)

This is obviously a device for wraping modern day mummies. The ancient Egyptian method of hand wraping was concidered far too antiquated for such a modern society as ours. This should clearly explain the gauze and stirrups.

Silk, I know what you mean. Right now I am going all over campus of the place where I work, looking for old books, pix, and miscellaneous items for our 100-year anniversary coming up. We are actually going to set up a museum on grounds, so I don't get the old "itchy fingers" when I see great stuff because I get to collect it now and help decide how we are going to use it in the museum.

But if I were somewhere other than here and found some marvelous items like these that had been left behind, it would be REAL tempting. Luckily for me, the threat of getting caught and going to jail for an old skull clamp is enough to stop the itch when it occurs, because if anyone is EVER going to get caught, it's me. ;-)
To be honest, I probably would have taken that skull clamp... you know.. for the museum, ;-) lol
actually, im NOT a clepto, but... I wouldn't be able to resist .... I don't know how you do Motts!!

Not to disappoint anyone, but the block is placed under the head of the body to keep the head in alignment. This prevents the neck from pulling towards the back of the body during various stages of rigor.

I'd recognize that Old Sturbridge Village grasshopper logo anywhere!

I saw what appears to be a RedSox sticker on the last photo... on the green iron lung.

This must be somewhere in New England.
ROFL!!!
No I do believe it's a dropper for dispensing the liquid.
