Comment by Joost Daalder on August 23, 2012 at 4:22: Very nice indeed, Linda. I had not seen this because we have been away from Adelaide twice in recent weeks, and I am rather "behind" with several things. But I do like this.

Comment by Linda Pastorino on August 14, 2012 at 22:58: I don't know where this is from in Pakistan. But probably easy to find out. All my books are at home and it might mention color specifics etc. I have not concentrated on these details lately due to time frame of selling things. back years ago when there was more time and less over heads I would spend alot of time researching each piece before offering it. I'm not doing that as much on the smaller items.

Comment by Linda Pastorino on August 12, 2012 at 1:08: Thanks! The pendant is very unusual in that the turquoise is really defined and not washed out. the double headed birds also is one image that made it big in Central Asia.
