<p>[QUOTE="SSlava, post: 4314914, member: 4587"]Generally most of the "gray stuff" on the sculpture is a layer of undercoat OVER the gold. This is clearly seen when magnified. That is, the remnants of a layer of undercoat, which was applied for some reason on top of the sculpture. There are still two layers of gold under this layer. I will probably try to take photographs through a magnifying glass later, it will be clearly visible. And in some places the gray color is just dirty levkas. Apparently, the flash still distorts the color rendition.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
