Craquelure can develop in interesting patterns. Here's a few examples at the Hamilton Kerr Institute. I swear there's another article about types...

Thanks for taking a closer look! She's so tiny and removed from her origins I didn't think much on who she might be. I just assumed she'd be generic!
