Very rich-looking, sumptuous, and extremely well-made pieces. The very best Yemeni work, of the kind we see here, really is unsurpassed in its kind, isn't it? The buyer got an excellent purchase.
These are really old ones yes. This particular supplier has great things but I had to look through allot of more regular things to buy the few pieces I did. Years ago I had three times as much stuff.
I was about to describe these as sumptuous when I saw Joost already has. A perfect description.
By the by, does anyone have further news about the distribution of Marjorie Ransom`s book. Does anyone know what the hold up is?
Frankie, - You don't by any chance mean the following, out in 2013?
Silver Treasures from the Land of Sheba: Regional Styles of Yemeni Jewelry Hardcover
Frankie, it's now slated for release in April 2014, as per the American University of Cairo Press who's the publisher. That's one book I'm waiting to get my hands on!
Thanks, Preethi!
That is the book I mean, Joost.
Thank you, Preethi, the problem is that the release dates keep being deferred. Still, I`ll keep all digits crossed that this next one proves good. I`ve had mine pre-ordered with Amazon for a bit now.
For those of us anxiously waiting for "Silver Treasures from the Land of Sheba: Regional Styles of Yemeni Jewelry" by Marjorie Ransom, the good news is that it has finally been published!
Thanks to you, Nada, my copy is now on its` way! I`m sure the wait we`ve all had will be well rewarded.
That's great, Nada. I also pre-ordered a copy and look forward to receiving it soon. Thanks for sharing the happy news!
