Shaving Stand

Object/Artifact

St. Joseph Museums

The image depicts a miniature silver-colored microscope-like apparatus with a small brush attached to the side, which stands on a textured surface. The apparatus features a circular frame holding what appears to be a thin, dried anatomical specimen that resembles a brain or intricate leaf pattern. At the base of the structure is a tiny, shallow bowl or dish, which could serve as a stand or a container for small items. A white string is looped through a hole in the base, connecting it to a cream-colored tag inscribed with the numbers "575/9288" in black ink, suggesting cataloging or inventory identification. The entire setup adds a sense of curiosity, possibly used for scientific demonstration or as a collectible.
