<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 3046782, member: 5833&quot;]On cameos, some have a drilled pupil &amp; some don&#039;t.&nbsp; I never thought about it in relation to sculptural practices.&nbsp; Most of the time cameo cutters were copying from something, probably prints of art work or other cameos, but that doesn&#039;t mean they didn&#039;t add their own little touches.&nbsp; Sometimes, when the figure&#039;s position means both eyes are showing, they drill pupils &amp; don&#039;t get them so they appear to be looking the same direction.&nbsp; It can make an otherwise well done piece look cockeyed.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]290990[/ATTACH] This one always looks subtly off to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m starting to rethink those marcasite settings in conjunction with the quality of the cameos &amp; am moving toward the 1930s.&nbsp; There&#039;s more care in them than became the norm after WWII.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
