a Babylonian cherub
a Greek syrinx
a faience hippopotamus from the Nile
an Iberian juju
a Northern bronze dagger
An impressive list, especially since I had to google most of it. Of course we have heard of cherubim and jujus but what are they in detail?
The syrinx recalls a poem quoted by Aycharaych in Poul Anderson's A Knight Of Ghosts And Shadows. The Time Patrol and the Technic History are Anderson's two greatest bodies of work so it is always good to bring them together.
