Heh.
It looks like this might be the original source:
The Garden Of Forking Paths — Hittite carved crystal hedgehog, Anatolia, c....
Still doesn’t authenticate the provenance of the object.
I shared it primarily for the referenced cute/cool factor. It’s well within the public domain. So, it might be useful as a reference for anyone who happens to like hedgehogs.
Also, I am distracting myself from contributing snark to another thread.

(Some mornings I don’t feel like being nice…and i keep having to delete my comments.)

Currently a little bit sick. (Might be a touch of food poisoning.) Definitely off my game. 
Ugh. Feel better!

There’s something going ‘round. I’m just getting over it myself.
Feel better soon!

Would have been better than the fiasco that was that Crystal Skull movie.
