Detail of drawers in the sacristy at St. Michael's Cathedral.
The tidy labels visible in this photo range from the traditional (Pyx, Sick Call Set, Rosary) and the modern (Microphone, Batteries) to the delightfully mysterious (Spare Parts and Tools – and my personal favorite - Unknown Keys).
Unknown?? Clearly, they are spare copies of the Claves Regni Coelorum! The will only ever work for the officeholder, though --- rather like the Sword in the Stone.
