Ranjit Singh

Een verdere introductie.
De tentoonstelling plaatst Ranjit Singh in het hirstorisch
en religieus perspectief.
Maar ik was vooral benieuwd naar de werpwapens: de Quoits of
Chakkar Quoits. Ik kende ze niet en het filmpje op de website
van de Wallace Collection gaf aanleiding genoeg om
nieuwsgierig te zijn.
Later gaat de tentoonstelling er verder op in.
