- Information:
Original text by Cecil Williamson: 'Other green witches prefer to have hand crafted models of the human anatomy made for them. One such example is this pair of female breasts, worked in wood and linked together. An interesting point is that the nipples unscrew - the breasts are hollow - so when working these were filled with some substance, the most common of which being mother's milk. From Mrs Silvia Stone Chard 1946.'
