@caitlinrgreen @collectionlinc many thanks for the tweet! :) -
@lidongni @collectionlinc My pleasure! It's great to know the pieces have come to you---will the SAL lend the other bit, perhaps!? ;) -
@caitlinrgreen @collectionlinc we actually had it back for an exhibition in 2009 - shame these fragments hadn't been found then!
