[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 9727262, member: 5833"]Pomegranate, I think. The seeds are quite large compared to the hundreds that must be in a poppy pod. While the body shape is not spherical, it still seems more like pomegranate than poppy to me. [ATTACH=full]472769[/ATTACH] In the glyptics world, poppy heads are used more than the flowers to indicate sleep/soporific power. This strikes me as Odysseus in the land of the Lotus Eaters, but Tassie catalogue has it as Night giving poppies to Morpheus. [ATTACH=full]472770[/ATTACH] Wedgwood calls this 'Night shedding poppies'. [ATTACH=full]472771[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
