Antiques are mysterious in many ways. Some, like an asparagus server, were made to do jobs that are no longer necessary. Some, like the Jenny Lind bed with spiral posts, are named for forgotten celebrities.
An antique mechanical bank with a hunter aiming his rifle at a bear cub is more than a toy. It represents the day President Theodore Roosevelt refused to shoot a bear. But most intriguing are patterns that carry hidden meanings.

Some curious creepy crawlers
Bernard Palissy, a French potter working about 1510 to 1590, was a naturalist. He made pottery platters like little ponds covered with realistic raised copies of snakes, lizards, snails and insects crawling on leaves, grass and stones. The forms were realistic because he used casts of dead reptiles to help with the modeling.
