Matt.
Where I have even mentioned the idea of countersinking with flat head rivets put in from the inside of the bowl to hold things is also cheating.
As indeed Jay has mentioned his decor' figures are soldered onto his so I do think this is in the correct direction for I think it could all have been braised together as a basket, then when that had been applied to the bowl soldering the eagles and shrines would not have affected any of the braising.
All of this makes you wonder are we getting near to understanding just how this kind of thing was done and it may be of some help to others to be able do it all in the future correctly.
