<p>[QUOTE=&quot;David@PCC, post: 3141232, member: 80556&quot;]The only cleaning that can be done on this is removing the dirt by hand which would take me 20 to 30 hours under magnification, but yours appears to adhere and may not come off easily or without damaging the green patina underneath. The problem with starting something like this is you will have to finish it once started. As a partial job it would not look good. Any oils would leave the dirt looking &#039;wet&#039; permanently and not be desirable. I can&#039;t tell from the low resolution, but the inscription appears worn or weakly struck, and cleaning may not help much there. As others said removing the patina all together may reveal unattractive pitting which I already can see on the eagle&#039;s chest. Fortunately the bust is detailed enough. I would leave it alone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
