I thank you folks for indulging my ignorance.

I have seen examples with multicolored modern paints. Easy to see these modern works of art (though some are not so much art ).

Patina of course will often tell of some age. This we all understand. However, some older examples are in such great condition that there is not much patina on them.

Your knowledge has helped me much.
