What is it?

While this may look to you like a wee boat with legs, or indeed a wooden bath, it is in fact a food bowl. If you don't believe me, get yourself along to the Museum of Scotland forthwith.

Spent ten educational minutes in the museum again this morning before reporting for possible jury duty at the Sheriff Court. I was detained the entire morning before being allowed to walk free, just like that. I was so excited that I tore up my citation, only later discovering that the expenses claim form was on the back. Ah well, no treats for me for a couple of days.
