** Also seen in [[Harry Potter]]: It seems Draco Malfoy owns one.
* In L. Jagi Lamplighter's ''[[Prospero's Daughter]]'', there are more public domain artifacts per square inch in the Prosperos' mansion than anywhere else. Several are mentioned above. But they were collecting them.
* The tomb of Emperor Qin Shi Huangdi. Some [[expy]] versions use artificial lake of mercury or terracota figurines alone.
** Eduard Gevorkyan used it in a philosophical horror-story ''Fighters of the Terracotta Guard''.
** Olga Larionova had a [[Shout-Out]] to it in her bird trilogy. An inspired [[Mad Artist]] prince made (with help from a magic-using [[Mad Scientist]] interested in the challenge of new things to build) as a [[Grand Romantic Gesture]] great art installations from dance performances to miniatures to his palace as a whole. Unfortunately, some part of this materialized dream improved visual effect by including very dangerous components in parts that may interact with the viewer - such as, yes, an open pool of mercury.
