I picked up an antique Egyptian bronze vase to-day, with an intriguing colour and form, I bought it partly because of the images in Nick's books, and didn't know it was Egyptian when i first bought it as it had come via Iran, and as I was talking to the woman who sold it to me, she invited me in to see an artpiece painted by her sister. It was over the mantlepiece, I couldn't believe my eyes and faltered... "Is that person a nomad?" To which the lovely Iranian replied "we call her a houri you call her gypsy." Sure enough.
