My New User Intro

In response to a message from user PHG, I am writing to introduce myself. I am an Economics professor by trade (and may make some edits in some Economics-related topics), but my passion is Ancient Indian numismatics, or the study of coins. This is the area in which I am most likely to make edits. I am also a practitioner of meditation, and interested in Indian philosophy, so there is a chance I might make some contributions there as well.

I've used Wikipedia for years, and felt it's time to give back some. Have made a few edits, and hope I can make some useful contributions in the future.

Statue of Avalokitesvara from British Museum

From China (perhaps Shanxi), 11th-12th century. Note the unusual topknot.
