H.R.F. the Crosnprince does not like the tiger shaped bronze- vessel Yi which I bought from you at the price of doll. 3.500:-. He holds it to be composed of several pieces cast separately. Spe- eially he points out that the handle hardly can belong to the bronre vessel and that the head is partly of poor design.
