Hi Jim,
Apologies for the late reply, been away for a while. I've never been successful in determining an exact answer. Needless to say Jens would be the one that might give a clue but I haven't seen or heard from him on the Forum for a while. Hope all is well with you.
My Regards,
Norman.

Hi Norman,
Thank you! Yeah, I think everybody is pretty busy these days, me too!
Actually it would be hard to assign any specific provenance to group or region on most Indian stuff with all the cross diffusion, whatever the case, yours is one of the most remarkable examples I've seen. Thanks again for posting it.
All the best,
Jim
