Original Message:   HIdden Treasures From the National Museum, Kabul ....

The “Bactrian Hoard” found in 1978 http://www.nga.gov/exhibitions/afghanistaninfo.shtm Thank you, Ali! I had the pleasure of seeing some of these pieces as part of this show when it was at the Asian Museum in San Francisco. There is nothing quite as luscious as high-karat gold artifacts. I enjoyed looking at them for a long, long time, trying to imagine what these people looked like in all their finery. There were a couple of re-creations of the pieces lying as they were discovered.
