<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lrbguy, post: 7578360, member: 88829&quot;]Showing pictures of the atrocities gives us part of the sad story, but what is the seller SAYING about these pieces?&nbsp; Does he call it restoration, or cleaning, or reclaiming, or freshening, or what?&nbsp; Do his words suggest he thinks he is somehow improving on what time in the ground has done, or is he simply acting to make an ancient artifact more palatable to a disinterested modern taste?&nbsp; What is his angle?&nbsp; Is he perhaps persuaded that a modified authentic original is still authentically ancient and therefore &quot;authentic&quot; in what matters most to his clients?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
