embossed Explanation: non ho trovato riscontri per il lavorato a giorno; per intuizione credo che si tratti di lavoro a sbalzo (in rilievo) dove, sotto la luce, le figure risultano più chiare (a giorno) in contrapposizione alle figure scalpellate che, risultando in secondo piano, riportano l'ombra e quindi sono più scure. questa è solo una supposizione. ;) ciao |

peer agreement (net): +1a jour Explanation: I'm not sure either, but taking a big sideways step from sewing, where "a jour" is the translation for "a giorno" work (a type of stitch)... I found a reference that could be of use - see a message from 08-01-2002, towards the bottom of the file. It refers to "Interesting Book on Medieval Metalwork and Enamelling Techniques". Good luck!

peer agreement (net): +2openwork Explanation: "Lavorazione a giorno" è un termine generico per indicare le decorazioni a traforo, ovvero "openwork" in inglese (vedi le due placche illustrate nel primo sito sotto per capire la differenza). Il secondo sito spiega in italiano alcune delle relative tecniche orafe. SSDA Giles Reference: http://www.gilliscoins.com/antiquities/roman_military/index....
