Whatever it is, it looks tartan. It doesn’t look so much like a decoration to me, as the ribbon you’d use to hang up the decoration. I love the way it looks like a rabbit, though. But it’s not at all obvious what it actually is. 🤔

We'd use the plastic shell of a BIC pen and a small chewed up piece of paper. Targets were any head within range ! LOL

I was just about to suggest Donnie Darko, so I might as well post what it really is.

A tartan ribbon.

Quote In 1861 Scottish mathematical physicist James Clerk Maxwell produced the earliest color photograph, an image of a tartan ribbon, by having it photographed three times through red, blue, and yellow filters, then recombining the images into one color composite. Because of this photograph Maxwell is credited as the founder of the theory of additive color.

this looks like a corydoras catfish, a genus from South America.

Here's the info written ablout it: Fish Pendant ca. 1878-1749 B.C. Middle Kingdom- From Egypt, Haraga, Cemetery A, Tomb 72

^ Never crossed my mind, but yeah. The shapes are quite alike. Though the body of the "pendant fish" looks slack, while cory catfish have tight bodies.

Switch was made at 05:00, on morning of 3 September 1967. All vehicles were instructed to stop at 04:50 and move from the left to the right-hand side of the road. This photo was taken in Stockholm at 04:50 in the morning.
