This is an early 14th Century ceremonial candle holder used in court by the prosecutor. It was placed in front of the accused, who then had until the candle burned out to protest his innocence. B This is a burial necklace, placed over the head of a pet mouse by ancient Egyptians as part of their pyramid burial process. C This is a Mongol archer's thumb ring, used to avoid thumb injuries when drawing back their heavy bows. Believe it or not the correct definition is 'C'. Unlike other archery methods used today (involving the fingers), the Mongols used their thumbs to draw back their bows. This item reduced RSI from using their very strong bows.
