<p>[QUOTE="AuDragon, post: 390782, member: 6974"]Hi AJ. It's such an interesting photo. I hadn't seen a temple rubbing being produced before so this explains a lot. I think the fabric could be cloth or linen and then perhaps stretched onto a frame (like an artist canvas). Perhaps these are the quality ones the artist might have signed. It's hard to tell, but it could also be a heavier handmade paper, which I think would fall around the edges like this one. I remember the early rubbings were on much heavier paper than the more recent copies. </p><p>It's hard to tell what the braces are made of, but probably a softwood of some sort. They do look custom made for the purpose.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
