Here’s what I have discovered since the last few lectures.
One carved Bombay Blackwood cabinet in my Bua’s home.
Two 100-year-old carved ivory pieces with very intricate work.
And lots of different textiles, particularly Saris, in various conditions of ‘disappearance into oblivion’.
We will now start cataloguing my Daadi’s antiques, which, by virtue of her family legacy, are likely to be quite a treasure trove.
Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of this – suddenly things that have been right in front of us have new value.
