[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 3035524, member: 2844"]They are fine, Gian.:) As Aaron said, a woodcarving isn't hollow. Terracottas of this size usually are. I think it could be terracotta which has had a gold paint bath. The fibres on the inside look like a different material to the rest, almost like dried glue, or maybe the remains of a label. When you tap against the outside, does it sound like terracotta? Do you have something to compare it with?[/QUOTE]
