Bill, I have made a couple of bad mistakes myself... But the shotel ivory/gold sounds like a biggie. Any ideas of where it ended up? Any pictures? Now, the shield: 100% Abyssinian. Great shape. Love it.

Don't know where the shotel ended up  but it is gone. $1200 I think was the asking price.Thanks for the info on the shield. I also really like Ethiopian art, prayer scrolls and jewelry. It has a vitality that most Christian art lost in the Byzantine. Will post a modern piece about Menelik I. Kind of fun, about Queen of Sheba and Soloman. I think that it is on goat skin. I realize that this is a weapons forum, but I think it is important to know about the culture, art, religion, political structure, history. All these give a depth of underestanding that really enriches the weapon collecting. |
