Re: Tumbling, Trade and European sophistication -- Timbuk-2 | Post Reply | Edit | Forum | Where am I? |
The main subject of "discussion" (in the forum) has been the question "Venice vs. Indonesia",if I recall correctly. My source agreed, quote: "The beads are all Indonesian, with the exception of maybe-maybe one or two pieces".
While I was first of the opinion - possibly influenced by the "guarantee" and a patina, I thought was visible - the strand could be from the 19-Sixtees, if not one-two decades older, I am now following my informant, who insists, quote: "NEW - NEW - BRANDNEW Indonesian work!" And this reporter knows what he's talking about!
Seems only Thomas got it right on both parameters - provenance AND age!
Compliment, Tasart!
End of story!
