Crotch-mounted bottle opener?

it’s an Atl-Atl (I think). Without Google, I can only say that I vaguely remember it as something like grade-school “wall-ball” or squash, where you’re constantly throwing a ball against the wall, using the pictured device, and someone else catches it and throws it back. Scoring, etc. are completely lost on me.

That’s an instrument of torture. But don’t bother sending me a t-shirt, because my kids will just take it, like they have all the others.

After Googling Atlatl, I see I got the name completely wrong. I do stand by my description of the game, and Googling led me to believe I was describing Jai alai or pelota. The basket like device I was thinking this is is called a Chistera/Xistera. But given a closer inspection of the game and pictured object, it seems improbable that something so heavy could ever be used to play this game. But I did learn something, so that’s good.

This is a stirrup, possibly Japanese samurai. (there’s one in the museum where I work!) T shirt: Old Skool, dark gray, M.

It is clearly an anicent Ice Cream Scoop for Leaders of the civilizations. The heftyness and size of the scoop allowed for a larger and tastier scoop of ice cream only fit for a king, peasants had to get by with small meager wooden scoops that easily broke.

It must be a Victorian ice cream scoop.They didn’t have ice cream in medieval times. Seems the wooden part of the handle has rotted off. Corrosive stuff ice cream is.

The Mongolian Emperor Temur Oljeytu Khan (1294-1307) had this protective helmet created for his son Chanu, who had a tendency to walk into walls and chew on his father’s best horsebow. Chanu was set to inherit power from his father, but his place in the rigid Mongol hierarchy was taken by his younger brother Qayshan, who purchased it from Chanu for two oddly-shaped rocks and a kite.
