My antique dealer from Marawi City visited. With lots of horror stories, of course. The marketplace with a lot of antique furniture burned down. So did his shop and everyone else's items in storage. He recently moved to another city in the south.

Wishing I'd bought another likos, that Qin Dynasty, blue-and-white jar with embossed lizards he offered me some time ago, and more trunks inlaid with mother-of-pearl.
