Could we have an O/T section for associated ethnographia?

Hi Mark & Jim,
Thank you both, and sorry its taken so long to reply. A sudden forced Huge clearout and re-decorating have taken all of my spare time recently.

Collecting ethnographia can be rather daunting. I'm sure many members, while focusing on weapons find themselves being drawn to a huge variety of loosely associated items outside of their 'comfort zone' of knowledge.

My personal taste is often for Bronze, and luckily for me, when I've needed to ask a question, everyone here has been very tollerant of my bowls etc, for which I am extremely greatful.

Regards
Gene

I only can support this idea. We all have I think so other ethnographica in our collections then ethnographic weapons.

I'd say yes too but I am not footing the bill to run this site though.

There are certainly a good many things worth discussing if this was to happen and it would be sure to enlighten us all on the cultures who had these weapons in their possession originally.

Seriously though, we all appreciate what the Mod team does, and how well this site is run.
A general ethnographia forum would take the O/T threads out of the other two areas.

I know I'm not paying the bills and I'm volunteering you guys for more work.

Thanks
