Hmmm. That means pothos members need to buy -ú18,000,000 worth of books before we can buy it. That is a lot of books.

Is this an 'authentic' item do you suppose? I didn't think it was legal to sell artifacts. Perhaps they are trying to 'sell' it to museums?

Ruth - considering it is being sold by Rupert
Wace, I'd imagine it is genuine . . . He is one of
the best known international dealers based in
London (Bond Street, rather than one of those
strange little places near the British Museum).
And if you have the provenance, it's legal.
