That sounds an excelleny idea , Caballo - with just one major drawback. Artists of bygone years from the Renaissance to the twentieth century, when drawing these items from the past, happily filled in details that were missing with their imaginations, or with dteails they were familiar with. When the objects still exist, we can check the accuracy of past depictions and copies, but with 'lost' items we have no way of separating fact from fiction......
