[QUOTE]Originally posted by Whatbox: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Sahel (Siptah): There is a curious contradiction in this finely painted piece - [b]there are blotches of white paint that fall on Rahotep's arms, knees and chin. It seems the artist, so careful with fine details, was clumsy at some point filling in the white paint of the the chair.[/b] Small damages occur on the head, etc., but these can be attributed to moving the pieces at some point.[/QUOTE]Interesting how these writers consider the statues to be a best example of superior craftsmanship and thereafter assert the artist was so careful yet clumsy when applying paint application to the statues. One can say if the artist was clumsy to tolerate blotches of paint then the artist was uncoordinated and careless with his/her work.. so how then does this serve as a great example of a model for remarkable workmanship since they themselves also have no difficulty in noticing a number of poor or abnormal formalities leading them to their curios contradictions with each of these statues? Does it not serve as an indication of them being on the same page as Afrocentrics with reference to each of the statues? The suspicion and curiosity is already there.[/QUOTE] Or, One could say based on the "extraordinarily lifelike" comment it is so that they are just of a different level of detail in terms of quality of shape (increased definition, though I've seen much better and more lifelike) rather than being "superior". Though it's definitely not superior and is infact of worse (than ae art in general) quality in terms of paint. Wouldn't be the first time such art has faded, or that it had parts of it retouched, faded then retouched, or possibly just faded. [/QB][/QUOTE]
