I love both the stones and the subdued gilding. Makes it look very elegant.

You did a great job cleaning it, Angelo. This piece really grows on you the longer you look at it.

This is among my all-time favorite tumars. I was watching it at auction and I am glad you got it. Sometimes Turkoman pieces are too regimented and formulaic for me, but this one has soul in great abundance! Angelo I am slowly going through all your photos since my return. :)
