Hi Jamey, thanx for mentioning Peter Francis "Third world Beadmakers". I've dug up my copy and it was enlightening to read again. Unfortunally I could not find info on Tashkent in P.F.Jr's booklet. Is there a relation on glass with Bokhara/Samarkand? I don't remember reading about this. My best guess at the moment is that the pendant was made in Hebron, what you mentioned before. Thanx again Hans
