My Mind Keeps Saying It Is A Purse,

that should click together to close it,


 but I know it is a carefully carved solid rock, that will not close,

 when not creating tombstones, monuments, and sculptures as the Ito Stone Shop, (the Link is to a gallery),

 Hirotoshi Ito,  a Japanese artist carefully carves away sections of naturally-textured stone to create the illusion of motion or flexibility,

 Rocks appear to be sliced with table knives,

 purses open to reveal their contents,

 or miniature dioramas,

whilst others are slightly more unsettling, what a difficult medium to work with, but it goes to show what skill Ito has.
