And even more unexpectedly - a gourd. According to the customs information, it is an antique Mexican gourd. It's very delicate and painted beautifully in pastal colours.
The top is obviously hand-cut so it only fits if you put it on in exactly the right spot. It's so unusual and eye-catching.
I know my SS must have gone to a lot of time and trouble to buy and send my present. I think I know who it is, but I'll wait and see if she wants to reveal herself. Can I just say a huge thank you for the effort you went to - I am overwhelmed by your generosity and the care you took sending it!
