applique Explanation: In its broadest sense, an applique or appliqué is a smaller ornament or device applied to another surface. In the context of ceramics, for example, an appliqué is a separate piece of clay added to the primary work, generally for the purpose of decoration. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applique based figure 5 (and other examples in the text) in the following link атташ is a (decorative) element that is attached to the main body of a vessel http://ancientrome.ru/publik/art/raev/raev01.htm -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 30 mins (2010-01-17 18:49:55 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- :-) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 42 mins (2010-01-17 19:02:08 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- well, I first found the Russian site by googling атташ and сосуд together and from the picture and descriptions I knew the equivalent in English and finding the wiki site was easy :-) So, no special talent just odd tidbits of information resurfacing in my brain at the right moment :-) |
