Roderick Whitfielid”
“在大英博物館沒有任何與之相類的東西,這純屬杜撰而且完全沒有價值。

(希熱多吉居士的文章提到:為了保險起見,他在英國相關的藝術網站上找到了羅德裏克·懷特費利德先生的簡介,如下:Dr. Roderick Whitfield was Assistant Keeper, Department of Oriental Antiquities at British Museum, London, England.1 He graduated with the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.).1 He graduated with the degree of Master of Arts (M.A.).資料顯示田青先生找的這個人確實是大英博物館東方古物部的專家。博主在此讚歎並隨喜田青先生所做的上述工作。)
羅德裏克·懷特費利德教授
