Here, technology is mostly created by artisans instead of being mass-produced. As a result, things often get forgotten and reinvented again as needed. This particular almost two centuries old box is clearly some sort of a photonic signal processing unit, although its exact function is unknown and its input-output configuration is unlike anything seen these days. Taking it apart before turning on is required.

This is the first picture featuring my updated fursona which has been in the works for more than a year. Hopefully, it'll see a bit more use than the previous version (which I became not very keen on shortly after finishing it).

PS:
For some reason, FA only allows setting a profile picture from the scraps directory, hence the placement, even though I consider it good enough for the main gallery.
