Alright, I think we all can agree these children look possessed. Like who decided “I’m going to make these children look like they are possessed?” They were probably fired after that.
And that’s not all. They are also in a boarded up staircase with a mirror above it. So you just look down and the gong is just chilling there. Then you look back up and there is just a mirror there. Also the baby on the left is staring and pointing straight at you. It is terrifying.
The children are made out of bronze by the way if you were wondering. The museum says this is a “Gong Frame with Carved Figures, Early 19th Century.” It is from Japan. In the picture on the museum website (here) you can better see that the frame is made of wood.
Also the reason I don’t post often is because I am a professional procrastinator.
