Jenny - Day 15 Train Day

It was time to leave our beloved youth hotel for one night and venture out to Pforzheim to visit the Shmuck Museum.

Tools, tools, and some more tools

Trauerring (memento mori)
England
gold, bergkristall(rock crystal?), hair, enamel

Hair comb 'achillea'
1903-1904
horn, gold, diamonds

Funeral wreath
4th century bc
gold, traces of enamel 

It was exciting to visit a museum completely dedicated to jewellery, why isn't there a museum like this in Australia? But I guess it's a good excuse to visit Germany again.
