clsage Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 I had not seen this posted yet so.... This story fragment, while still unverified, never the less offers a variety of possible plot hooks - such as artifact, cursed item, etc. And while it could show up in a Pulp Hero or other genre scenario(s) I thought it had the best fit here: http://io9.com/and-now-a-lyre-made-from-a-human-skull-1597453083?utm_campaign=socialflow_io9_facebook&utm_source=io9_facebook&utm_medium=socialflow And a direct link to the museum archives: http://www.metmuseum.org/collection/the-collection-online/search/501834 -Carl- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tikiman Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 A lyre made from a human skull sounds like a pretty cool artifact for some evil cult to use. Maybe the melodies summon their dark lords or some such. Neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drunkonduty Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 That is pretty metal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phydaux Posted July 15, 2014 Report Share Posted July 15, 2014 You play the lyre, and then the spirit imprisoned in the skull used the skull's mouth to sing bawdy songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbywolfe Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Something like this? EDIT: And looking at the OP again, that thing is horrific. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
