Early 20th C. Paper Thin Brass Surveyors/Architects Stencils - Set # One student painting and the tiny head on

and the tiny head on much taller body of whatever that tallest creature is

whether documenting or foreshadowing their fate I am not sure

I’m so intrigued by this tiny clay figure on horseback

And carved links at either end make for easy hanging

Toko (or whoever she is) in her yellow flower-patterned dress

Early 20th C. Paper Thin Brass Surveyors/Architects Stencils - Set # One student painting and the tiny head onI find these old brass surveyors architects stencils so beautiful paper thin, finely made, and shining rather like liquid gold in the light. I purchased a lot of them from a seller in England, and have broken them up into smaller thematic groups. These would have been used to annotate blueprints architectural renderings, but as a lover of found language I like them as small, evocative signs of sorts, which could be interesting in all sorts contexts,
