Tang Treasures and Monsoon Winds.



 If you are in Singapore this is a must see. A 1200 year old Arab ship was wrecked south of Singapore returning home  stuffed with goodies from China. 50,000 items, most in perfect condition have been recovered. Ceramics, gold and silver items. This is an exhibition to change your view of what is modern.   Even the designs on the bowls could  be todays IKEA.

And this drinking cup with a built in drinking straw. The fish keeps solids from blocking the hole in the bottom to the cup.  How cool is this?  I didn't notice that photography was allowed without flash,  so only stole 2 images.  Really pissed at that.
