Black Annis the Faery Hag
Black Annis is a faery witch found in the legends. Black Annis is said to have blue skin and iron claws which she would use to snatch children from their houses at night. Black Annis was said to terrorize the countryside of Leicestershire and she once she captured a victim she would skin and tan them and wear the skin around her waist. The people made the windows small so Black Aniis could only get one arm in and when they heard her howl from five miles away they put skins of animals and herbs on their windows to protect themselves.

ca. 1863
The reputation of the Castellanis–Fortunato Pio (1794–1865) and his sons. In 1863, when Alessandro established a branch of the firm in Naples, until his death. Earlier, however, the firm had explored a range of styles, and it is to this period that the letter opener, with its eclectic mixture of Early Christian, classical, and medieval motifs, probably belongs. The symmetrical design, identical on both sides of the blade, features roundels and carefully proportioned geometric compartments characteristic of the work of the duke of Sermoneta, a friend of Alessandro's, who prepared similar designs for the firm in 1859. The angels on each side of the handle recall figures on a later medieval jewel that Alessandro evidently saw in England in 1861–62, of which he is known to have made five copies.
The angels are
enameled en ronde bosse, a technique practiced in the early sixteenth century; the remainder of the letter opener is cloisonné enamel, with the cloisons formed of gold filigree wire.
