Dear Giovanni,

Yes I see what you mean now.  At a casual glance the rings in those two images look the same, but they are not.  I made a macro comparison with two numbered arrows to show the difference that you pointed out.

Arrow 1 points to the outer layer that was not carved

Arrow 2 points to the exposed layers at the top of a petal

I put a wavy line at deepest area of that petal to show that is mostly one layer as it should be.

I put a wavy line on the same area of Marcos' petal to show that the mold maker misunderstood the way it should look.

I hope that everyone can understand what I am trying show.
