German to English translations [PRO]
Art/Literary - Archaeology / Egyptian | | German term or phrase: stuckiert | The context is a series of descriptions of ancient Egyptian artifacts. The running text concerns the significance of the objects, but says nothing about how they were created. The descriptions of the materials are quite terse; apart from dimensions there are variations on "Holz, stuckiert und vergoldet; schwarzes Harz, Bronze, Glas und Obsidian"
Here's one figure:

described as "Holz, stuckiert und bemalt"
"Stucco" doesn't seem right to me. All suggestions welcome!
Thanks and a Happy New Year, Kevin |
