Was The Dent Created By Bugs?

Upon a general inspection, Ramirez and the team thought it was a work of some bugs who have made their way through the wooden structure. It wasn’t an unfamiliar site for the bugs to creep in and the folks at Da Vinci Restauro have seen similar incidents various times. However, when they looked at it with precise detailing, Ramirez knew it was not the bugs and she was looking at something extraordinary. They were about to make a very significant discovery and it will carry huge importance for the church.

The Crack Was Done On a Purpose

As the team proceeded in its restoration work, they found out that the crack or the fracture that was in the rood of the figurine was done intentionally. The purpose of this crack was to create a secret compartment and the team somehow managed to open the artifact without damaging it any further. The efforts were not in vain as the items that were found in this compartment were interesting. The crack was made so that the future generations can take a look of what’s inside and explore.
