Dear List members,

A colleague, who is not a member of this list, asked me to post an 
image of an object
from the Minaev collection in St. Petersburg. Its diameter is 13.5 cm 
. I am sending photo as attachment.

The colleague would be most grateful for any comments.

With thanks and
best wishes,
Tatiana Oranskaia
