Water Urn, Forbidden City, Beijing

These massive urns would hold water which could be used to put out fires in the wooden structures that comprise most of the buildings in Beijing's Forbidden City, home to many of China's dynasties including the last emperor until his overthrow by Sun Yat Sen and the nationalists around 1911.

Some of these urns were covered with about 2.2 kilos of gold leaf and showed signs of scratches as ancient looters scraped off the gold.

    Put on your coat and clothes, and you can go first. If your pants or socks are too tight, apply tassels or talcum powder on your feet and try celebrity sex doll again.
