Casting the feet of small lizards in gold and silver

Because the feet of these [lizards] that are very small are [also] very fine, once you have molded the top and you have uncover the vents and underneath the feet are covered lightly with wax, and then cast a second mold. And the wax that one removes, it leaves a little cast for these said feet, and again such that the underneath [part] comes out in one piece that you can repair well, And the scales on top of the toes come [out] well.

Around the big lizard nails, put on each a small round of wax to make the cast like this.
