Dear Antonio,

You touched a lot of collector hearts with this piece. or maybe hurt a lot of collector hearts.

I am more of the 'old school' too, but i am again amazed about the skills and traditional labour that has been put into it.

And as for the influence / hybridation.
In old days warriors would go on a journey or maybe for battle and weapons exchanged, traded or taken from the loosing party would cause influence.
Now we have books / internet / international fairs / seminars.
This is our present way of influencing, so seems fine with me.
As long as it results in these kind of unique objects please continue.

Good luck and best regards,
Willem
