I have found a series of 3 Tunisian Youtube videos regarding scented paste beads which I haven't come across before - I wonder if anyone can help me with a translation of the recipe please? Here's a link to the 3 videos:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEckhrJr3E4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h579uXOozHs…See More

A gau with a lotus flower
"I think both pieces - yours, Thelma, and yours, Michael - are excellent pieces, and I also find myself quite convinced that the tree of life occurs on both. I must confess, Thelma, that I had not thought of this possibility before, but…"

"What you say makes excellent sense to me, Thelma. In particular, I agree that they are all Pashtun. And you may well be right to think that the Bir identification was based on the place of acquisition."
Thelma commented on Thelma's photoTorque
"Yes, I started by thinking that these came from Swat; and Swat was one of the locations mentioned by the excellent seller... together with Kohistan and Nooristan. I suspect they may have been included in the Afghanistan chapter of the Bir book…"

"Hi Joost,thank you for your nice comments on the G'au.
This kind of G'au should have a silver back; some other types come (originally only with copper-, brass- or even iron backs. So this a hint to the authenticity of the piece.BestMichael"

"You have posted a very interesting example, Michael! I do agree with you that it - more obviously than Thelma's - does seem to show us a tree. Actually, looking more closely at Thelma's, I see that the straight piece below the turquoise…"

"Hi Thelma,
I was still thinking about your G'au and remembered a similar piece - same area, same style - on my website.
Here it is more easy to recognize the "Tree of Life"
What is the backside made from - iron, brass,…"
Thelma commented on Thelma's photoA gau with a lotus flower
"Thanks, Michael. That is really very interesting. I've had the gau for about 3 years and have always accepted it as 'with lotus blossom' but it has also worried me a little. The problem has been the shape of the…"

"Hi Thelma, - I must admit I have also feel inclined to believe that these are usually from Pakistan, but I note your comments about the Bir book and the Ghysels one. For what it is worth: as a scholar the person who did the Bir book is, overall,…"
