Thanks YT.  The above adds further clarity to the "Year of the Ram".  I finally got the connection in the use of the yang (羊) character as it applies to a number of animals.  Thanks again for the education.

Dear Charll,

You are very welcome Wink. And thank you for the many more lessons you have taught me for the past year.

Dear YT,
    Is that a fancy BS way of saying 'Baltic Amber'? Why not just write 'Baltic Amber'?  Huh     Roll Eyes 
Best,
  Joey
PS: Nice Baltic Amber snuff bottle.

Dear George,

Sorry about that. My cut and paste deleted my original writing of Root Amber.


Dear Joey,

ROFL!! Yes it does look like the BS way of writing Baltic/Root Amber.  Grin Grin
19th Century with carving of a QiLin(mythical beast) on the other side.
