<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 3071209, member: 5833&quot;]Thank you so much for showing her to us.&nbsp; Interesting how he chose to cut the dagger blade so it runs into a fold of her robe.</p><p><br /></p><p>About faint signatures.&nbsp; I had had La Speranza for some time, thinking as everyone does that it was Mary Magdalen, &amp; had checked multiple times for a signature without seeing one.&nbsp; Then, checking one more time, I spotted the faint thread of the signature.&nbsp; Not sure I could have read it if I had not already been aware of the name.&nbsp; Some time well after that I looked again, remembering the piece was signed but having forgotten by whom.&nbsp; For the life of me I could not catch a glimpse of the signature &amp; began to think I wasn&#039;t remembering correctly.&nbsp; More time passed.&nbsp; One day it occurred to me that I had not checked for a signature since having cataract surgery.&nbsp; Lo, and behold!&nbsp; The signature was back.&nbsp; But it is extremely lightly incised.&nbsp; It seems to have been characteristic; also necessary because of the thin shell he used.</p><p><br /></p><p>You have lovely pieces in your collection too.&nbsp; How long have you been collecting?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
