Dear John,
Although you'd never guess it from looking at the images on the monitor, the mafrash and khorjin on the main board are almost identical in layout, design and motif in each stripe, and probably in color. They really ought to be in the same collection, but Marvin has been just as stubborn about not selling me the khorjin as I've been about not selling him the mafrash. The image that looks most nearly accurate is the khorjin, and the elem is unambiguously white (or ivory) in both pieces.
Regards,
Steve Price
