Preservation of metalwork in Nepal 
Liebe Susanne Gänsicke, ich bin Franziska Heimann, wir sind vor 30Jahren durch Ägypten und den Sudan gereist mit zwei Andreassen. Bestimmt erinnerst Du Dich/ Sie sich? Ich bin kürzlich zufällig auf Archäologische Berichte über den Sudan gestossen und habe dann, an unsere Reise denkend, nach Dir / Ihnen recherchiert und bin fündig geworden. Ich würde mich über eine Antwort und einen Kontakt sehr freuen. Viele Grüße sendet Franziska Heimann
