Table decorated with a petrified foot made as a gift for Napoleon III in 1866

Made as a gift for Napoleon III in 1866 by Italian naturalist and noted creep, Elfisio Marini, this is the kind of table that’s good for if you’re worried that your dinner guests have too much of an appetite. That’s because it was built with human remains.

All of the body’s greatest hits were used in the making of this supremely weird table, including petrified hearts, brains, livers, and lungs. Oh, and it was decorated with a petrified foot.
