There are prestigious and elaborate assemblages of frames, a lock with traps and secrets, a sugar pagoda, a miniature park grid composed of 2300 elements and carried out for 14 years, and hundreds of other unusual objects made by the Companions of about thirty different trades, disappeared or in activity.
