Interesting. Thanks for the information.
Now I know more about the note since I do have a similar piece in my collection.

Yes, very interesting, I had never heard of this tower or the story behind it...a bit unsettling to think of a father getting married to a daughter these days but if one reads egyptian history, it was not rare for family members to wed like this and no reason to think other cultures didnt do the same thing...thanks for the cool write up.
