DESCRIPTION

Plaster decoration

Serial decoration

Le parti decorate a missione sono caratterizzate

da una stesura piuttosto spessa che si suppone

essere di gommalacca o altra resina di origine

naturale.

Tale resina, da un'osservazione al microscopio,

sembra aver inglobato, in parte, al suo interno

la foglia d'oro. Questo potrebbe essere dovuto

ad una stesura prematura della foglia stessa.
