peer agreement (net): +1stamped gold squares Explanation: Poinconner also means to stamp. http://dictionary.reverso.net/french-english/poinconner -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 24 mins (2017-08-08 15:25:30 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- You could also say "punched": Punching: a stamp or punching tool is tapped into the surface of the gilding after burnishing using a hammer, either to impress the design of the stamp, or to create deeper dotted patterns, outlines and shading. http://baronmorgan.gallowglass.org/articles/cna05_patternedg...

peer agreement (net): +2gold tooling or punchwork Explanation: Although the term 'gold tooling' often refers to adding gold elements to leather bindings, it can also refer to patterns applied to a gold background. This is also sometimes called 'punchwork'. See these sites with useful English terminology for illuminated manuscripts (the first one is particularly good): http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/illuminated/manuscript/disco... http://web.ceu.hu/medstud/manual/MMM/glossary.html#gilding |

| Reference: poinçon Reference information: Just to add to the likely meaning of "poinçonnés", there is a "poinçon" on every gold or silver ring, chain, etc. "Il y a en France plus de 5000 différents poinçons depuis le moyen âge" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2017-08-08 16:27:05 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Oh well, with gold leaf on paper, I don't know if it's this poinçon then.
