Moss' daily new: $45,000 map table of Baghdad

Oh the things you can buy in New York City!

The Daily New at the Moss shop (which offered $90 Heath Ledger and Charlton Heston finger puppets in December,) today serves up a $45,000 welded aluminum table recreating a pre-Shock and Awe map of Baghdad.

The “New Baghdad” table was designed by Ezri Tarazi in Edra, Italy “so that the most recognizable features of the city, the Tigris river and the main streets were as accurate as possible,” according to the product description at Moss. “The aluminum parts representing the buildings and structures in between the river and the main streets were assembled in an imaginary and futuristic way.”

The website listing says the price is available upon request, but the store’s RSS feed of the Daily New lists the price as $45,000.

Moss is located at 150 Greene St., map.
