Topics to be known for better
Understanding of the two Schools of Art
What is Stucco and What are its Indian Synonyms
Stucco is a General Term to be employed to convey all Shades of
Meaning dependent on the Purpose of its Use
Precise Shades of Meaning of the Words, Plaster and Mortar
Undesirability of the Use of the Term, Lime in the Sense of Stucco
Problem relating to the Denotation of the Word,Stucco
Distinction between the Basic and Optional
Ingredients of Stucco must be kept in view
Varying Explanations of Stucco lead to Confusion
There was no Confusion of Terminology in the
Graeco-Roman Periods
When and Why the Trouble making Term, Stucco was adopted ?
Stucco in Indian Regions and Gypsum Compound in Afghan
Regions were probably predominant Media of Images
Most of the Technical Aspects of Making Images are
common to both Stucco and Gypsum Compound
