This little treasure has finally shown its face and a real beauty it is. By whom or why it is named after a Mongol warrior Emperor (Where is the lance and helmet?) I have no idea, but I think that he would have approved because in spite of his notoriously horrendous cruelties he was a great patron of the arts.

It's stunning, I would love to know why it's named Kublai Khan too ! Doesn't seem appropriate really. : o )
