Quote:Maybe I missed it in my quick review of the thread, but what is the "gold" colored decoration? Paint?
I must admit my ignorance of the ancient greek leather paints. I have used a modern golden paint that I have used before and I know for certain will last for a very long time. I know that they have used muds containing various metals (such as iron) with water, especially for ceramics, but thats where my knowledge ends. Can anyone provide some useful information about what would be a historically acurate leather paint?
