Thank you Bill H. Your expert comments and interest are most valued.

From your comments to my May 26 message, I looked up the Wikepedia entry that you suggested which gives further details of each of the 18 Luohans.

The artist, as well as being accomplished, seems to have had a sense of humour and crammed the 18 men into a sort of party scenario. It is interesting trying to pick out each of the Luohans (see extra attached photos,)although there may be some artistic licence. There is Long Eyebrow Lohan in the centre and 'Raised Pagoda' on his left. Is 'Calico Bag' the corpulent Buddha on the right with a face drawn on his belly? Any other obvious identities (apart from 'Taming Tiger')? What are the circular things being thrown around? Frisbees?

Thank you also Arjan for replying to my May 26 message.

I plan to give this plate to my daughter as a birthday present so an estimate of value would be useful (how much will the rim fault devalue it?).

Thank you again

David
