<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Snowman Cometh, post: 13261243, member: 83302&quot;]I asked AI and this is what it said, and it makes sense. </p><p><br /></p><p>In master workshops (such as those in Torre del Greco, Italy, or Japanese studio imports signed by artists like <i>Balzano</i>), a master carver produces a single &quot;master model&quot; or standard design.</p><p><br /></p><p>Other skilled artisans or apprentices in the workshop then carve copies of that precise model using modern rotary dental-style flex-shaft drills and carbide micro-burs rather than traditional hand gravers. Because the carvers follow the exact same stencil and master design template using high-speed power tools, the resulting cameos look nearly indistinguishable to the naked eye. However, if you examine them under high magnification or compare minute line details (such as the folds of the kimono, the pleats of the parasol, or the letter height in the &quot;BALZANO&quot; signature), tiny hand variations will become apparent.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I think they were going for that look. All the cameos from this particular seller have those kinds of backgrounds. I kind of like it. I just don&#039;t like the way the cameo is made.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
