Having recently attained a slew of Boshan beads, added to those I already have, and have documented; and since I have worked toward a new perspective on these beads (only presented before now in lectures), I have intended to re-read this article as well as the equally provocative article by Kan and Liu (Ornament), to regain the insight presented.

I may present my thoughts online. But my goal is to produce a self-published monograph.
