This collection is located on-site
The leather gloves in box 1 can be viewed, but must not be touched or picked up because they are extremely fragile. They are placed so that one glove is face up and one glove is face down.
The silver box in box 2 can be handled, but the patron must wear gloves (latex/nitrile or cotton). The library cord tied around the lock mechanism is to prevent accidental locking of the box, since there is no key, and may not be removed.
