- Dated 12th June 2013 and sent from Shiga while on a loan trip there to install the exhibition "Ancient Glass: Feast of Colour" at the MIHO Museum. The object illustrated on this card belongs to a very distinctive class of silverware found from the 1960s onwards in northern Afghanistan and neighbouring southern Turkmenistan, dating from the late third-early second millennia BC and part of a shared cultural package termed the "Bactria-Margiana Archaeological Complex".
