Thanks for this information, Liza. Nice job!

Interesting!
On the 5th picture, I noticed the metal quality of the ring and the details of the carving went downhill. I wonder if it has anything to do with the economy at that time.

Interesting, Jenny. I don't know. The speaker only took two questions (and really didn't fully answer either one), so I guess we won't ever know! I'm thinking perhaps she wasn't feeling well. She cleared her throat a lot, and may have been getting a cold or flu.
