It is often found nestled in reliquaries and paintings of religious subjects that date back to five or six centuries.<\/p>\n<p>The Romans were the first to practice the technique of engraving, a rather tedious task. They focused more on making coral <em>olives and grains<\/em>, called &#8220;<strong>paternoster<\/strong>&#8221; used for the production of rosaries.<\/p>\n<p>If you are a natural Red Coral aficionado, there is a treasure house \u00e2\u20ac\u201c a real treat that awaits you at the Conte<strong> Agostino Pepoli Regional Museum<\/strong>, in Italy where <strong>Red art<\/strong> of Trapani&#8217;s <strong>&#8220;mastri curaddari&#8221;
