To get these rubbings, the
original stone or bone carving was photographed en situ, and the image carefully
transferred onto a solid mahogany tablet, where it was meticulously carved
out, neither adding nor deleting any detail.
A cotton/nylon material was then stretched over the tablet, and oil paint
(the same as that used by the masters) was carefully applied to the relief
with a small dauber, building up layers of color where needed.
