TRUE THE REAL WORKS OF ART THOUGH OFTEN FLASHY AND COLORFUL TO SOME TASTES ARE IN ANOTHER CATEGORY ENTIRELY. PERHAPS ROYAL WEAPONS OR WEAPONS OF STATE? IF RUBIES, DIAMONDS, GOLD AND OTHER PRECIOUS STONES WERE WORTHLESS PERHAPS THEN THEY WOULD BE GAUDIE BUT EVEN THEN THE WORKMANSHIP WOULD SET THEM IN A MUCH HIGHER CATEGORY.

I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET PERMISSION TO START A POST ON SOME OF THE VERY JEWEL ENCRUSTED TREASURES SUCH AS THE TOPKAPI DAGGER AMONG OTHERS BUT SO FAR HAVE HAD NO REPLY TO MY INQUIRYS.
HOPEFULLY I WILL RECEIVE PERMISSION SOON AS I HAVE THE PICTURES ON HAND.

WORTH IS ALSO A MATTER OF TIMEING IF SUCH A DAGGER AS MINE WERE OFFERED AT THE RIGHT TIME AND PLACE PERHAPS ONE COULD HAVE OWNED MANHATTEN.
