Hello Mr Barford, I recently came into possession of what I believe to be the head of a Nok. Is there anyway I could email you a couple pictures to get your opinion on it?
Mr Barford, I recently came into the possession of what I believe to be the head of a Nok sculpture. Is there an email address where I could send some pictures to you? If you wouldn't mind I would love your opinion on this piece. Thank you so much!
Yes, certainly, just send it here and state your address, where you got it and who from, http://www.interpol.int/Public/contact.asp. Someone will be around to take a good look at it just as soon as you do, put the export papers in a place where you can find them when they arrive. Thanks.
