If my landlord heard there were valuable works of art embedded in my walls, there is no way he would let me remove them and sell them. He would be down here with a hammer and chisel grabbing them for himself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-24406549938024674732014-02-27T08:22:03.234-05:002014-02-27T08:22:03.234-05:00@ Anon @ 10:50pm:

Then it is cut away from the underside. What the plaster is on and what kind of paint or fresco technique was used drives the details. The fabric is removed after. Same methods as removing a fresco from a archaeological site.
