Adolfo Bioy Casares, Guirlandas con amores (1959)

This cauldron, from the Gross Family Collection (027.003.013), was part of the Paris Museum of Jewish Art and History’s recent exhibition Magic: Angels and Demons in the Jewish Tradition… The museum catalogue describes this object as a cauldron for “casting lead,” a common magical practice for divination in various parts of Europe known as molybdomancy: lead (or tin) is melted and then poured into cold water, and the different shapes that it forms are then interpreted.
