<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ken Dorney, post: 2504854, member: 76086&quot;]I&#039;ve seen the type before, but I sold off many of my antiquity references (I had more than I do for coins).&nbsp; Its not in the few I kept, though many of those focus on the decorative types.&nbsp; I had that download you mentioned, but cant find it.&nbsp; I believe Google Books has a few on Luristan.&nbsp; Those rings you have are likely from straps and horse harnesses, buts, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This is partly true, in both ways you mention.&nbsp; Many who dont specialize cant tell the difference from Luristan, Marlik, Amlash, etc, and for that matter Bactrian types (which closely resemble these types).&nbsp; Your comment is also true in that yes, Luristan was a major metal manufactory, and many types were indeed exported as trade goods.&nbsp; Also true in that there are some incredible references published, but they are expensive and usually more money than the artifacts themselves which is why most cant tell the difference.&nbsp; They are hard to find.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I will shoot some pics and post them of some things I have.&nbsp; Always like to share with antiquities![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
