MAGIC ITEM (2): BAKELITE MIRROR

Inspired artisans of the 'U.S.A,' made this vanity mirror a century ago from "bakelite", a semi-magical synthetic material that was in vogue before industrial plastics.

It was likely used to check make-up and hair at a vanity table before going out to a nightclub or society dinner. Even today 'bakelite' is sought after as rare signifier of 20th Century material culture pre-WW2.

This digital "token" confers upon you a portion of the aesthetic and para-natural power of this radiant meta-object.

Think on the maker of this physical item and send them your gratitude through the centuries - for the privilege of holding it's meta-verse avatar.

I took this photo and was blessed by this object and the sincere expression of it's maker.

I truly hope my photo gives a portion of that warmth and comfort to you.
