Wilcox Sculpture
Wilcox Sculpture — a recurring phenomenon; understanding does not restore sanity. Register ME-1919-W20/5489.
Overview
Miskatonic seal ME-1919-W20/5489 binds this packet; duplicate citations must use slug `wilcox-sculpture`.
Wilcox Sculpture enters the archive under protest from reason and with sponsorship from repeated evidence.
Henry Anthony Wilcox's bas-relief of cyclopean city and Cthulhu glyph.
Period attestation: lovecraft-1920s.
The Library holds primary text; this dossier holds orientation — never the reverse.
Description
Dream of R'lyeh produced the clay piece in 1925.
Sensory reports conflict in detail — scale, colour, limb count — yet agree that the phenomenon offends proportion.
Olfactory notes in depositions: salt, copper, wet stone, and organic sweetness like fruit fermenting in a closed room.
Historical Record
Thurston linked it to global cult activity.
Post-1937 pastiche and game supplements multiplied references; the archive tags those layers expanded mythos unless a primary citation is supplied.
Cross-links at dossier foot should be treated as hypotheses, not as family trees carved in stone.
Field Observations
Do not engage alone; do not accept hospitality from hosts who show windows to other eras.
Submit Form Theta-9 if conversation turns to cities remembered only in sleep.
If the name appears in dreams three nights running, withdraw from the case and request audit.
Archive Notes
Cite archive slug `wilcox-sculpture` in all cross-references. If the name appears in dreams three nights running, withdraw from the case and request audit.
