What was that thing on the wall in the Sweeney Revival?

Just got home from seeing the matinee of Sweeney Todd today. It was FABULOUS! I now understand why people go to see it more than once! There was so much going on, I'm sure I didn't catch half of it.

I loved the use of highlighting certain objects on the wall during certain scenes...the doll in the cage for Joanna, the cross for the Judge. However, I couldn't tell what the object was in a glass bell jar on the shelf about half-way up on the left. My friend thought it was seashells. Is she right?

The thing illuminated? If so, I'd think its a good guess that it is indeed seashells, as it would be a perfect fit for "By the Sea".

I dont see it.

They look like white lilies to me.

Hmm, I never noticed that anything was illuminated in that picture.

Nobody else sees the Virgin Mary there surrounded by white flowers?

It's flowers, as you can see from these pictures that were taken by someone from the Sweeney Todd community on LJ during a backstage tour:







Okay, obviously trying to put a link in was not a good idea, I don't know why it's being weird. Here's a link to their journal entry: http://dmp.livejournal.com/162207.html#cutid1
