[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 425696, member: 2844"]Agree resin, from a mold, no carving.:( You can also see bubbles on the front, like here on the sleeve(?): [ATTACH=full]148887[/ATTACH] You can also see that none of it is carved, the lines do not continue (to suggest rubbing), but the ends of the lines are too rounded. Another telltale sign, there is no carving between the tassles of woman's hairpin and her hair, which is what you would see on a carving of similar detail: [ATTACH=full]148888[/ATTACH] That is something I always look for, is it carved round the back of a detail, can you see around corners, so to speak.:pompous: I don't know what the usual price is for these resin statues, but I think you could still make a profit.[/QUOTE]
