Late roman spatha\'s with stripe pattern
#8
Hi Christian,

Many, possibly most, ok, but certainly not all. My books and sources certainly give a much more varied picture. Are they all wrong? I cannot really answer without a microscope of my own and a lot of time.

Marcus,

On the wax and acid - I am afraid I have not a clue. I don't think beeswax would be my first choice though. And I would definitely test it on some old scraps first.

Cheers

Andrew
