Peter, Maybe you can get this question answered: With this lost wax process and old specimens around like you write so nice about, including small fragments of wax I am told..........why cannot the wax be tested to determine who made it? Or is it too much trouble? We here talks of these digs all the time out here, but why cannot the wax assoc with it be tested, or is there no need to know? Respectfully submitted, Dee A.
