I've finally gotten around to posting images I took on this day (the 25th...last week). While up there I took a series of detail shots of the relief to help prepare for the restoration of this fine detail work. Here's a wide shot of the relief, with almost no detail visible. You can see the stripper on there, but it's off now. Unfortunately not all the paint is, so we'll working on that some more. Some folks have come forward expressing an interest in helping the restoration of this artwork, so I'm trying to provide them with a sense of what they're up against. Keep in mind, as well, this Stupa is 38 feet tall, not including the 3 to 5 foot rise off the ground! We're going to build a platform for the fine art portion of the restoration though, so don't worry, we won't make our artists dangle from rope and harness....well...maybe in addition to the platform. : )  Posted by Picasa
