Detail of the surface of a lost-wax cast statuette. Only digital microscopy (see fig. 279) proved efficient in overcoming the wear and corroded surface, thus revealing that the linear details were V-shaped and sharply defined, and thus indicative of having been made or reinforced by a graver. Statuette of Jambhala, Java, first half of the 9th century, H. 28 cm (Musée national des arts asiatiques – Guimet, Paris, inv. MG 3814).
