  • Impressive with all these coins! (Which reminds me that I bought some Indian coins with bails, just a few not more than 4-5,  I should wear them as pendants some time!). This piece is enormeous with so many pieces, probably also heavy. The pendant (you name it kirtimukha), is also very fascinating,  somehow I see an elephants head in it.....(?).

  • It's very good indeed, but interesting to me that you should be SO fond of it, for I don't quite feel that. Maybe I should see it in reality ...
