I believe the Ning had an article not long ago about a gourd with the blood of Louis XVI inside it, well now there seems to be a cloth that is to be auctioned off.

Interesting, although somewhat gruesome, article. I can't imagine being present and taking a keepsake like this, but again, it was commonplace it seems.

Cheers

It is interesting but also very very gruesome.I guess that whoever collected the blood with the cloth must have been very desensitized.Maybe not so strange with what else was going on at the time in France :0

ButI dowonder what kind of person would like to buy such a thing.

And if there is someone today who wants to own it...im not sure its someone I would find very comfortable to hang out with >>> serial killer?!
