How strange - I was just thinking of that!

It got me to wondering if there was any connection between the big rockart stuff being used as mouls of some sort... I'm sure the theory has been mentioned many times before, but just for me, does anyone know any good reason against the theory that rockart could have been used as a mould of some sort? If not for metal, then clay or something? Even just for decoration?

Verticality, although not common would be a problem e.g. Ballochmyle , very runny . In the case of cups you would finish up with lots of wee bumps on an irregular surface . Any ideas for that ? 3d relief map for the bairns to play with their toy wagons and coos ? .Can't rememebr how much moulds scored out of 10 in Morris' list.
