Appraisal of the Week: Opinion: State of the African Art Market "Dear 1Earth: My husband and I lived in the former Belgian Congo for
almost 9 years. While there, we gathered some interesting African art —

Meet an Expert: Marcus Webb, Militaria,
Military Medals
Thirty four years ago when Marcus was a Cub Scout, the first merit badge
he went after was the Collector badge. Marcus recently sold the badges he
was awarded in the Scouts and purchased a tidy second hand station wagon
with the proceeds. The website business Eureka
Militaria is the result of Mr Webb's passion for badges, patches,
medals and militaria.
The Tibet and China issue is yet to be resolved - though recent talks
between the Chinese and those within the Dalai Lama's camp are setting
precedents. The way the world is turning these days, we are not the
first to predict that this issue WILL BE RESOLVED SOON! These
beautiful and GENUINE Tibetan works of art are appreciating in value every
day - and you have the knowledge that your purchase is helping the artesans
of Dharmasala - the real Tibetans - and not the Chinese who are ripping off
the Tibetan culture.
