Image 3: After the head of each figure was cast, a separate application of colored wax was applied to create the hair. Damage to the reverse of Hector’s head revealed the flesh-toned wax below the brown wax, and tool marks indicate the hair was further worked once in place on the figure. Hector’s braided queue is constructed from twine dipped in wax. Image courtesy Tudor Place Historic House & Garden, Washington D.C.
