A couple of other repaired things that I like: 1. I found this just a couple of months ago: a fifteenth century ceramic jar with twin handles from the Sankampaeng kilns near Chiang Mai in Thailand; not very interesting in itself but repaired with the neck of an older Khmer culture bronze vase (C13 or 14 probably from Lopburi); the functional jar suddenly becomes quite elegant: 2. A wooden milk container that I bought from Judy a few years ago; it comes from Southern Sudan or Northern Uganda, from Arua or Hima pastoralist tribespeople. The wood has been hollowed out to leave very thin walls that are vulnerable; cracks have been repaired with resin embedded with little squares of white metal, possibly aluminium. Again I think the repaired item is even more beautiful than the unrepaired container would have been. All the best, Will All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users |
