<p>[QUOTE="IvaPan, post: 8059118, member: 78949"]IMO those cameos were made by young apprentices still learning the basics and they were not able to make the spatial planning on the cameo base in the way so that the proportions of the face or the body are kept. And then, once made, why not sell them, probably at a heavy discount but still there were costs related to them, material and labour, that had to be paid back. If I were the master of the workshop, I would think in that way. Furthermore, there is some appeal in the ugly images, too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
