two broken decorative objects

Linda McBurney handed in two objects that in my opinion had a lot in common. The solid wooden lamp holder had been purchased on a trip to Malaysia and had now lost a small wooden chip at it’s base. The amber and silver necklace was from Lithuania, and had gotten tangled up and warped when it got stuck in something and pulled. Both were decorative, made of local materials by local craftsmen, and served as memories of journeys. Since they were both broken, I found it suitable to turn them into a device for guiding travellers along the safe path.

The amber doesn't shine very bright, but lasts for a very long time.
