There have been several postings that asked about dating something other
than Turkmen rugs. May I offer these two for your comments? Perhaps we
could treat them as "old" and "older." Which is which and why? (These
were both in the 1994 "Mideast Meets Midwest" exhibition that
accompanied ACOR II in Chicago.)
