Dear friends,

Last year in May I gave a lecture on my research and book at MIT and I had a chance to visit this wonderful museum. Attached you will find some examples there. Look at this Ankus (elephant goad) from India. It is truly a magnificent piece.

Kind regards

Manouchehr

The next bronze sword is from Luristan. Similar examples are exhibited in the National Museum of Iran in Tehran.

Kind regards

The next sword is Chinese from late E. Chou Dynasty. That is made of bronze and inlaid with gold. A magnificent piece.

Kind regards
