Asmodeus Icon (Ασμοδαίος)
Asmodeus (Ασμοδαίος), as depicted in Collin de Plancy ‘s Dictionnaire Infernal (1863).
Handmade pyrography, adorned on a big Sycamore wooden disc.
• Dimensions: 25 x 1.5cm“Though Ashmedai now permitted himself to be led off unresistingly, he acted most peculiarly on the way to Solomon. He brushed against a palm tree and uprooted it; he knocked against a house and overturned it; and when, at the request of a poor woman, he was turning aside from her hut, he broke a bone, and asked with grim humor: “Is it not written, ‘A soft tongue [the woman’s entreaty] breaketh the bone’?” (Prov. xxv. 15). A blind man going astray he set in the right path, and a similar kindness he did for a drunkard. He wept when a wedding company passed them, and laughed at one who asked his shoemaker to make him shoes to last for seven years, and at a magician who was publicly showing his skill. Having finally arrived at the end of the journey, Ashmedai, after several days of waiting, was led before Solomon, who told him that he wanted nothing of him but the shamir. Ashmedai thereupon informed the king where it could be obtained.
Solomon then questioned him about his strange conduct on the journey. Ashmedai answered that he judged persons and things according to their real character and not according to their appearance in the eyes of human beings. He cried when he saw the wedding company, because he knew the bridegroom had not a month to live; and he laughed at him who wanted shoes to last seven years, because the man would not own them for seven days; also at the magician who pretended to disclose secrets, because he did not know that under his very feet lay a buried treasure.”

Test Tube Baby – Frankenfoetus
Are there any horror fans in the house?!
Good. Well to you guys I say, forget all of those cute unicorn foetuses and dead merbaby specimens that I peddle.. THIS is the specimen for you!
It certainly bears a resemblance to a certain creature portrayed by Boris Karloff some years ago. But of course that was all movie fiction, based of the writings of a young lady 200 years ago. Yet inspite of this far fetched tale of fiction, maybe there was a kernel of truth. For here we have an unborn monster!
These little fellas mostly come in shades of green. Sometimes a perky bright hue (as pictured) or with a sickly drab olive pallor. I’ve had the odd foetus so dark green as to appear almost black – presumably due to extreme tissue necrosis before embalming or preservation chemicals had been administered.
If you order a test-tube baby Frankenfoetus, this is what you’ll receive:
• 1 x hand-prepared frankenbaby foetus specimen
• specimen report
• 150mm long glass test tube, with cork bung
• 1x handmade shipping crate
DISCLAIMER: only ficticious creatures are harmed to bring you this product.
Please note – this item is faux taxidermy.
Each piece is sculpted, moulded, cast, handpainted, and varnished.
I prepare all specimens personally, with much love.
FAQ: Yes, I can customise specimens.
You may wish it to be a different colour or you may simply want to choose a specific name to be written on the specimen report. This is all possible, however such variations may also incur additional cost, depending on the work required. Please get in touch before placing an order and we can discuss these things. (Please note – this will not be possible before Xmas.)£37.50 Sold by: Zombieking
