Yes. Look at this PDF. It features some photographs of the actual sculptures (not this one in particular, though) taken under UV light. You can clearly see the patterns:

He had with him the selfsame rifle you see with him now, all mounted in german silver and the name that he\'d give it set with silver wire under the checkpiece in latin: Et In Arcadia Ego. Common enough for a man to name his gun. His is the first and only ever I seen with an inscription from the classics. - Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian
