G.Filano Mandolin under Ultraviolet Radiation

Caption

This image shows fluorescence induced by ultraviolet radiation of a mandolin made by G.Filano, particularly of the sound hole decoration. The orange color is characteristic of the resin of the false inlay, which organic fraction seems to be composed by shellac only.
