Dear Mr. Brundage, Your memory is quite faulty. I do not believe I called you any names—but I recall your bad manners quite well. I also remember very well that I mentioned a written source for the admonition I have repeated here—that the Tibetan name for these beads included "han." Since the first time I reported that, I have not come across the paper in my archive. But when I do I will quote it. And if you like I will scan that page and send it to you, since it's clear you think I am a liar. I think the work in question was published by the Smithsonian. However, it could also be from the Newark Museum. (Both institutions, at that time, published similar publications, based on their fieldwork and their holdings.) I did not mention National Geographic—and this is not a publication I refer to much. I would only cite it if I had no other information to go on. The report I referred to is an anthropological museum work, though not a thorough analysis of Tibetan material culture. Jamey D. Allen All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users |
