    I've been fortunate to see this piece in person at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston; if you haven't been, it's a fabulous place even for someone like me that is much more interested in history than art. https://collections.mfa.org/objects/146531

    I'm currently reading a fascinating book on the ethics of archaeology- https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9010325-finders-keepers

    even with a slip or body stocking - that would look very stylish today!

      Either that or surprise your husband without them if you're wanting another child.
