<p>[QUOTE="komokwa, post: 24019, member: 301"]Doesn't it look like a charcoal stone rubbing ?</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Stone rubbing</b> is the practice of creating an image of surface features of a stone on paper. The image records features such as natural textures, inscribed patterns or lettering. By rubbing hard rendering materials over the paper, pigment is deposited over protrusions and on edges; depressions remain unpigmented since the pliable paper moves away from the rendering material. Common rendering materials include <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charcoal#Art" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charcoal#Art" rel="nofollow">charcoal</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crayon" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crayon" rel="nofollow">wax</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pencil" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pencil" rel="nofollow">graphite</a> or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inkstick" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inkstick" rel="nofollow">inksticks</a>. Over time, the practice of stone rubbing can cause permanent damage to cultural monuments due to abrasion. For an artist, stone rubbings can become an entire body of creative work that is framed and displayed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
