No, but I don't think it is. There's the little loop that's an attachment point for a safety chain at the top, & people sometimes use them as a...
You can also try saliva. The V&A conservation department gave that advice to a friend. The discussion about cleaning marble in another thread...
I found that article when I was looking for guidance on cleaning a piece of mine. Left me terrified of touching her! [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
