but a free advice ![]() even our desire to do for the best ![]() our translation and analyses should be not enough, the quality of that "Pala" is too high and really necessitate a translation from an expert, and none from "amateur" like us ![]() à + Dom |

If this kilij indeed came from the collection of Prince Mikhail Semyonovich Vorontsov, you got yourself a treasure.
Commander of Russian Occupation Force in France ( after conclusion of which he personally paid all bills of every Russian soldier or officer, just to make sure that nobody could disrespect the Russians), governor of Odessa, commander of Russian Forces during the Caucasus War, owner of the most luxurious estate in the Crimea ( tsar wanted to reproduce it, but was told that it would be too expensive) and husband of Natalia, the muse ( likely a lover) of Pushkin. Awesome! |
