Re-melted using Pralus who owns the plantation on Nosy Bé just off the main island of Madagascar. This effort similarly falls short, proving there’s little a restoration artist can do with a piece that's flawed to begin with. Hevin’s attempted buttering down of unruly, rambunctious batch just simply resists arrest.
