A student loan system established in Oxford in 1240 relied on one of these objects named for Saint Frideswide. The Lane Company gave “hope” versions of these objects to girls graduating high school. Renaissance brides were given a type of these objects called a cassone (“cass-OH-nay”), one of which (20[1])can be seen open (20[1])in The Venus of Urbino. (20[9])They’re (20[1])not skeletons, (20[4])but one (20[1])of these physical (20[1])objects is found (20[2])after Legrand realizes (20[1])that an old man dropped the title (*) insect through the wrong eye socket in Edgar Allen (10[1])Poe’s “The Gold-Bug.” Another (10[1])of these objects owned by Captain Flint is sought by Hispaniola cabin boy Jim (10[1])Hawkins. (10[2])For 10 points, name these objects, one of which is buried on an island (10[1])in a Robert Louis (10[1])Stevenson novel. (10[2])■END■ (10[5])
