Somebody reminded me that, that word 'fancy' -- which in a sense for me, encapsulated this object -- actually comes from the same  root as the word 'fantasy.' And that what this object was just as much in a way, in its own way, as a Leonardo da Vinci painting, is a portal to somewhere else.
Alguém me lembrou  que a palavra "fantasioso", que, de certa maneira,  resumia este objeto, na verdade, vem da palavra "fantasia". E este objeto, à sua maneira, tal qual uma pintura de Leonardo da Vinci, era um portal para outro lugar.
