Strange drums
The studio here, if you don’t already know, and if such is the case then quite frankly you haven’t been paying attention, is part of a textile mill. Textile mills are exciting places in that they are old and have a lot of interesting old things in them. Which every now and then the mill owners, for reasons known only to themselves, see fit to throw out. Never being one to miss an opportunity, I keep a beady eye on the skip out the back.
This turned up last week:
A cardboard drum with a riveted seam and metal rim and base, marvellous. But what are these strange cabalistic symbols on the side?
Suggestions welcome.

Might be an insecticide. Maybe against moths. Would make sense in a woolen mill.

Katrin's suggestion would seem to make much more sense than my first thought, which was "If you swordfight with Mickey Mouse you might chop off one of his ears".
