[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 10312849, member: 5833"]I made a second attempt at photos today. Not much better than first attempt, but a little. When under magnification & held just so to the light, back shows very fine parallel lines running horizontally down the entire length of the back, just impossible with my meager skills & equipment to capture. Think you were also describing this on your piece? Like the traces of a polishing method. There's no doubt that Ceres is Celluloid or something very similar. When you tap her with a fingernail you know you are dealing with some kind of plastic. [ATTACH=full]518144[/ATTACH] I do not see any evidence that she has been manually touched up or enhanced on the front; strictly a molded production. Photos of the back do not fully capture the highly textured appearance, which contrasts with the completely smooth feel. [ATTACH=full]518145[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
