Hello Alan,
Yes, of course it was my own estimation, otherwise I wouldn't state it!
But don't worry, no offense taken, I am not a child!
And you see that I am able to clarify it.
I have seen this piece some time before Wolfgang Spielmann decided to sell it. When I first saw it I thought also that the dress is recent and expressed it to him, his answer was that I shall look close, nothing more. When this is an influence I was maybe influenced!
What he gets told from the seller on Java I really don't know.
Regards,
Detlef
