Original Message:   Old Whorl

Amazing specimen - wooow! Have never seen a whorl in "turtle-design" (Dhar verkrun). Wonderful collectible!! I do not remember who said it when, and what the arguments were pro Fustat, but I am as close to be certain as possible (at this point), that this whorl - and related pieces from the same design-family - was NOT made in old Cairo. Does anybody know the argument/s pro Fustat? Jamey maybe...? Later this year, I hope, we will be certain, where the Morfia, the Dhar Verkrun, and related beads have been made. - Levante - al-Fustat - other I am reasonably sure, it has not been in Egypt!
