Hi Russ,
Thank you. Lovely. It's very like those pictures that Joyce posted, isn't it? I checked out the Farafina website and saw more there, also in their giftshop listed as "antiques". I thought about buying some for this exhibit I'm organising, and then I started to think: "Are these genuinely old repaired articles, or are "repaired"items also being manufactured for ignorant enthusiasts (like me!)? Perhaps it's just my suspicious nature, which usually keeps the enthusiasm at least partially in check. I know nothing at all about African beads unfortunately, just a little about southeast Asia and Tibet, so I'd welcome any help.
Will
