The meanings of objects vary as people associate their personal and individual ideas, words, concepts and memories with them. When unsure of what an object is people try to pull from their memory other familiar characteristics, objects and places to help them better understand the nature of the unfamiliar subject. I picked up a small Florentine object from an antique store that looks like it could have multiple purposes. Curious as to what others thought about it I asked several people to jot down the first 10 words that came to mind when looking at this object. Here's what they said:
Taylor Savas:
1. church
2. sword
3. black
4. rose
5. texture
6. red
7. dangerous
8. cute
9. nick knack
10. handmade
Nancy Chi:
1. miniature
2. dull
4. antique
5. carved
6. symbolic
7. book mark
8. gothic
9. knife
10. renaissance
Crystal Wang:
1. pen
2. ornate
3. leaves
4. texture
5. silver
6. crevice
7. dagger
8. medieval
9. ancient
10. petite
Can you guess what this object is?
