All of us are members of MOAS because we share a common interest in Asian Art and Culture, yet within that unity resides a great diversity. For this meeting let's share our interests and some of the insights we have gathered as we explored this vast subject. Bring one or more artifacts in one or more of the following suggested categories.
All Asian cultures, countries and eras are welcome
● - A favorite piece; something which really speaks to you in a personal way.
● - Something which tells a story, or has its own unique story.
● - Something which is an example of a specialized material and/or technique of manufacture.
● - A mystery object: something which has puzzled you as to age, material, use or origin.
(Or something you know about, but which might puzzle the rest of us.)
● -Something that has fooled you: a fake, or something which turned out to be other than you
thought.
● -Something which has a connection with a well-known person or event.
We'd like to share open discussion, stories, ideas, opinions and theories in a relaxed,
informal way as we look at each others' artifacts.
