Curious Item Club - Pool of Shadow Sculptures

A pool of matte black liquid, its surface unnaturally still and unreflective. Perhaps it is found in a natural cavern. Or in the middle of the desert nestled between dunes blazing in the sun. Or kept in the marble basin of a vizier’s palace. Or held in a bowl of brass decorated with strange bas reliefs.

From the Forest of the Eastern Trees there...

In the center of the chamber, a large, beruned millstone grinds a deep channel into a floating moebius strip of faintly purplish stone. There is no clear mechanism by which either the millstone or moebius strip are suspended.
