Artifact 5: Staircase

Each of the four levels of the Tabernacle is connected by a staircase, with original banisters and some original flooring. The banisters exhibit some detail, the handrail and lower beams connected by small columns of carved wood. The wood is smooth and fitted with the indentions of decades of handgrips. On this particular level, the first half of the staircase bears the original flooring of the church: small, thin planks of light wood that sink in the middle from age.
