<p>[QUOTE="SSlava, post: 4314929, member: 4587"]Most likely, the sculpture was covered with gold twice, and these golden layers lost their appearance over time. Then someone just decided to paint the sculpture with colored paints, not gold. But then this layer of colored paints crumbled and turned black, revealing gold again. These layers are clearly visible on the leg. craquelure and aging of gold looks very natural, it is difficult to fake this.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]351826[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
