    Indeed, a copy cast from an original would have mold lines where the
    mold, usually a synthetic silcone or similar, would have been cut
    but, these lines can be removed with a file prior to finishing
    making discovery difficult. Cire perdue (lost wax casting) goes way
    back having been used in mezzo-American cultures in pre-Spanish
    times so, the original might have been made the same way.  Maybe nit

    writing.  What is the origin of this idol?
