<p>[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 1703548, member: 6444"]Thanks, that's a great comparable. Value is not an issue since I paid 1/50 that amount. Yes, looking at it now I can see it is clearly woven, but hand-woven. Do the eight "auspicious symbols" sprinkled around make it any earlier? In your link it states: "the plain field of clouds without auspicious symbols would indicate a Ch'ng Dynasty date of 1898 or later".[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
