Soviet Prisoner’s Abdominal Art
|Photographer Sergey Maximishin, who served in the Soviet army during the 80s, took these photos in a Russian “prison museum“. This abdominal art (spoons, shanks and sets of dominoes) were all culled from the stomachs of men serving time in the 1950s-60s. Once confiscated, the would-be weapons were lovingly labeled and mounted. Don’t judge me, but I bet people would pay top dollar for these in one of Fab.com’s vintage kitsch sales.
I’m going to go ahead and tag this one “edible art“. Click through for more.

I just came upon this today, what exactly is it? Culled from their stomachs? Can you explain?
Thanks
