Halite Sculpture from the Dead Sea

Origin
Originally taken from the Qumran Caves and imbued with the saltyness of the Dead Sea, this sculpture of the biblical King David carved out of Halite by Greek Orthodox monks during the Byzantine era. The monks of the era would use the sculpture to taint all the food during days of fasting, often over doing it and nearly wiping whole communities in the monasteries.

Effects
When the statue is touched with any type of edible food, the food, when touched with saliva, transmutes it to salt.

Collection
It was given to Warehouse 5 after the statue fell into the water supply of the Saint George Monastery, tainting the water.

It was collected by regent Anastagio Karras.
