Mystery of Artifacts Around the House
by Lauren Ashkenazi

All of the artifacts in this section are items you would find as decorations or objects used around the house. Each artifact has a different historical background. They are all important to the owners because each artifact carries a different memory with them. This gallery includes artwork, a lamp, a tea cup, bowls, plates, a jewelry box, kitchen utensils like a mortar and pestle and a pastry tool. We learned about some of our ancestors’ hobbies from the harmonica used to play music, and a smoking pipe.

When you think about it these artifacts are much older than we are, and even older than our parents. All these objects are very different but, they have one thing in common. All of these artifacts are more than two generations old!
