    Picked this up today from an old dealer friend who'd asked me over for lunch ..actually, got some other things too but this was particularly nice so I thought I'd share it with the forum.

    That is beautiful piece - I have a couple of sandalwood fans, both have a nice scent, but the older one is so much more fragrant...
