Mystery Object #5

Curated by Isabelle Balcaen, MA Student- Department of History, Dalhousie University

Our next mystery object is curated by Isabelle Balcaen, an incoming MA student with the Department of History at Dalhousie University. We invite you to treat this post as a conversation rather than a quiz. There are no wrong answers—only observations, questions, and possibilities. Drawing on your own experiences, disciplinary lenses, or material instincts, consider what this object might tell us before the archival record speaks.
