Kastane for comment

Hello,

in the book Visions of an Island about the collection of Christopher Ondaatje there is another painting mentioned showing a portrait of General Aexander Popham wearing a kastane. According to the book this General lived from 1605 to 1669. This painting is now in the Tower of London and is reproduced in the book, too. There are also nice pictures of all kinds of antiques of Ceylon including many nice kastanes and piha kaettas.

Greetings, Helge
