Gold Chinese Mask Design Earclips and a Lady.

The Masks: Chinese art is the oldest art in history. Chinese masks
have been used in theater representing the hyperbolic aspect of man's
nature. They have been used by priests in order to scare away demons.
They have been used to represent gods.

The Lady: She was born in Long Island, New York in 1929. Over
the years she acquired and eclectic array of jewelry ... each image I=20
look at is more beautiful than the one before. She was born to culture
and wealth. She was a skilled horseman (horsewoman? ... horselady? ...
rider of horses of the female persuasion? ... being politically
correct ain't no easy task ... I'm telling you). In any case ... as a
child she showed great skill at horsemanship ... horseladyship?...=20

The Masks: In ancient religions it was often believed that deities
resided in sacred masks and that the wearer of said mask was possessed
by the spirit of the inhabiting god and therefore shared the psychic
identity of that god. Wear the mask of a dragon or a dragon-god ...
you are not pretending to be a dragon ... you are a dragon. Wear the
mask of a Lion ... you are a Lion. Wear the mask of a Tiger ... you
are a Tiger. Wear the mask of a Kitten ... but I digress.

The Lady: She attended Vassar. She attended the Sorbonne. She=20
attended George Washington University. She grew to represent the=20
epitome of culture and sophistication. Her name is recognized
world-wide. She was instrumental in planning a national cultural
center ... later named after her husband and called the John F.
Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. She was--of course--Jacqueline
Kennedy Onassis.

The Masks: Chinese masks were often placed in temples in order
to prevent intruders from stealing sacred artifacts. This was
obviously before sophisticated central alarm systems ... when one
tended to rely rather heavily on the supernatural. Methinks that the
more things change ... the more they remain the same. But that's a
philosophical discussion for another time.

=46or those of you who are new to this thing called Tidbits...may I
