These fired clay balls are the size of eggs but when cracked reveal an otherworldly iris and pupil that flicks quickly from side to side. It is said that if a person holds one of the eggs and points it at the world they will see terrible things through their own eyes. What, exactly, is uncertain: past massacres, the dark world that exists beside ours, or, perhaps, even their own death.
