David has chosen to show 13 artifacts from his collection related to women and prepared an entertaining introduction to a serious historical topic. The ages of the artifacts range over 3000 years, from ~1600 B.C. to the 16th century A.D. Only some of the artifacts are coins. Taken all together, the artifacts in this overview suggest that thematic connections between women and magic relate in fascinating ways to gender power in various societies across millennia.
