The Finder’s Tale: The Ewer That Traveled by Moonlight

They say this little brass ewer once belonged to a Persian household where it was used to hold precious oils and fragrant liquids.

Handmade and etched with delicate patterns, it was more than a vessel—it was something meant to be noticed.

But according to the rather questionable records of Tolbert Crow, it eventually left its original home and began a journey that would take it far from where it was made.

Perhaps it carried rose oil for a lady preparing for a secret meeting.

Perhaps it held perfumed oil offered to a very important guest.

Or perhaps it simply sat quietly on a table, listening to conversations that were never meant to leave the room.

Nearly two centuries later, its brass has darkened, its carvings have softened with age, but its hinged lid still opens just as it once did.

Whatever secrets it once held, it has kept them remarkably well.

And now, after all these years, it has found its way to Finders Keepers—waiting for someone curious enough to wonder what those secrets might have been.

The history of the piece is presented as described; the tale is a fictional Finders Keepers story.
