Giusto Manetti Battiloro Italian Болус 0,3 kg Yellow

Traditional bole paste. Pre‑kneaded, ultra‑fine natural clay designed for preparing the coloured ground layer in classical water gilding (bole gilding) with gold and silver leaf.

The paste form ensures a perfectly smooth, creamy consistency without lumps and significantly simplifies the preparation process. Bole creates an elastic intermediate layer on top of the gesso ground, essential for achieving a high, mirror‑like shine when burnishing gold with an agate stone.
