The Indian Ambassador added that ever since the very successful visit of the Portuguese Prime Minister to India in January this year, there is a lot of synergy between the two countries in diverse fields ranging from technology to education and from civil aviation to football – to name a few. Cultural being an important part of the lives of our people, is an important area where cooperation in the areas of shared heritage and legacy is greatly cherished by one and all.

So the Portuguese stole from us.

So ? How is this any different from what the British stole from us ? or what the Iranian stole from us ? or what the Afghan stole from us ? or what the Turks stole from us ? Those are much worse.

What is the NSA warnings that you are talking about ? Can you provide a link for such a document ?

kingdom of Saptakonkana which supposedly stretched from the south bank of river Tapti in Gujarat to the tip of Kanyakumari.

Perhaps the earliest known European collector of Goan antiques was Giuliano de Medici or so one infers from a letter dated January 6, 1516, addressed to him by the Italian traveller, André Corsalli; “In a small island near this (Teeswadi), the Portuguese, in order to build this city have destroyed an ancient temple (Saptakoteshvara) which was built with
marvellous art and with ancient figures wrought to the greatest perfection.

The Goan art dealer Eurico Ribeiro,told us of another interesting incident involving Rebello. The famous American art dealer Albert Nestle came to Goa on a very specific mission. An Indian Maharaja had disposed of his standing chandeliers. There are now only two of their kind in the world. Nestle was the proud possessor of one. The
other piece, of Bohemian glass, enamel and gold, he had found out after patient investigation, was with Rebello in Goa. He wanted Eurico to take him to Rebello. He looked forward to persuading the Goan collector to sell off the rarity. He didn’t succeed. Rebello vividly recalls his encounter with Nestle. They looked each other in the eye — and “just smiled”. The story in the art collector’s charmed world is that Nestle had divided his chandelier into various parts and they were then used in the decor of the White House.

Rebello’s collection of carved wood included some rare pieces, in that they bear motifs from Hindu iconography. Generally, carved wood furniture in Goa is the work of Hindu artisans. Perhaps in dread of the bigotry of the times they confined themselves to Christian iconography and European flora - grapes, vines, etc; their other motive was that their goods wouldn’t sell without these. They certainly tried to flatter their European clients, carving out their likenesses in hunting gear and placing slain tigers and elephants at their feet. Some of these are treasured in the Residency Museum at Munich.

A twin of a porcelain bottle owned by Rebello was featured as a rare item (ownership undisclosed) in the masterly book Chinese Porcelain and the Heraldry of the Empire by Nunode Castro, an authority on Chinese porcelain. It was made in Gaungdong
