You need to play "spot the ball". There are numerous little balls of resin you can see. 



I can't see the 'balls' either. Are they the same size as the pixels?   Huh

Yes thanks George, do you mind telling me by what wizardry you put those arrows on the screen. I'm a novice when it come to that soet of thing. Embarrassed

I think you missed a couple as well, One between the two rooves and the  hill the temple is on and another in the tree foliage.  Wink

Yes there are several more...

When I "right click" on an image stored on my computer, then select "edit", it will bring up this editing program called "paint" .. You should have the same or something similar.


Then just pick the color and arrow, circles, square, etc.. When your done, go to "file" (upper left of page) and scroll down to "save" for leaving it in the same file it was stored on your computer, or "save as" to move it to another file location.

Dear Adrian,
when I saw your bottle, I did click on the image before reading your text and spotted the minute balls scattered here and there, then my first reaction has been “hey, Adrian has bought a fake bottle!”.
But then by reading the text I have seen that you were aware of that when you bought it.
I found really interesting your notes about a final covering layer of lacquer. It is not clear by what you said if that is a supposition or if it is true. Is that true?
If true, that will explain why in some cases the layers are not so apparent.
I agree that there are some materials apt for taking molds which have an extremely high resolution. See for example those meant for dentists.
Kind regards
Giovanni
