Vincent Van Gogh's Ear

Origin
Vincent Van Gogh was a Dutch impressionist painter in the 1800s. He is best known for his experiments with light, color, composition, and point of view. Some of his famous works involve sunflower compositions, or "Starry Night". Unfortunately he also suffered from mental illness for the majority of his life. An infamous incident was when he cut off his own ear and mailed it to his girlfriend, a prostitute named Clasina Maria Hoornik, as a gift. His death still remains a mystery, as some believed his death was a suicide, while others believe it was an accidental death from a staged suicide attempt to prevent his brother from abandoning him.

Effects
Whomever holds the ear sees everything in Van Gogh's impressionist style of painting. Holding the ear for too long may lead to the user developing schizophrenia, depression, dizziness, or numerous other mental disorders that Van Gogh suffered from.

Collection
Cataranga collected the ear from Ms. Hoornik after she reported "strange visions" and feelings of deep depression. He developed a self-sealing, air-tight box to keep the ear in to prevent decay or mold.
