Comments from Rich Holmstrom:
I bought this porcelain doll in Kyoto many years ago. It is supposedly about 200 years old. If you look closely at his left hand, you can see that he used to have something there but it was broke off when I bought it. If anyone has any idea what may have been in his hand, i'd sure like to know.
The FHT aims to establish a portal for the world's falconers and other interested parties to access aspects of the sport's rich heritage by linking existing physical archives, including international private and public collections, through the medium of an electronic archive. This archive features falconry furniture, works of art, books, correspondence from leading falconers and film and photographic material for the education and interest of falconer and scholar alike. We hope that, whatever your background or interest in our sport, you may find something of value through our archive to deepen your knowledge, understanding and passion for falconry and will help us, through your support, to preserve this precious cultural heritage for future generations.
