PICKED - CANON O2 is the only plate whose komodo is an actual Varanus skull (low broad head, nostril near the snout tip, correct temporal mass) instead of the pale bulbous crocodilian muzzle O1/O3/O4 drift to, with a single-headed reticulated python holding the rock above, clean sand, and the child still entering

PICKED - CANON O3 is the only top-down plate with a single-headed python (O1 and O2 duplicate the head) that also keeps the falling water in frame, so the two lanes read as the recharge source: komodo on the dry sand left, python on the wet rock, child on open ground right.

PICKED - CANON the RENDERED LETTERING burned across the plate's foot at rung 4 - 'THE OFFER / THE REFUSAL / THE COST', the hardest defect class this belt has fought and an automatic reject wherever it appears - is completely gone, and the three moments are now told by staging alone: one continuous cloud-forest cle

PICKED - CANON the two grey metal buckets are gone from the top of frame, which is the whole of what this row's surviving line named; the background is now continuous tree-fern, palm and bamboo understory in shade, and the gift heap stays tubers, bamboo, split fruit and leaf

PICKED - CANON the milled panelled doors with metal hardware, the ceramic plates and the conifer-and-farmhouse shore are gone, and the assembled gift of taro, tubers, fruit, gourd and bamboo water on banana leaf is now the frame's subject on black volcanic ground

PICKED - CANON the offer is legible regional produce at last - taro corms, a cut tuber, guava and rose-apple on banana leaf, a bamboo cup of water on woven mats - on the Flores dry-season ash plain under the cone, off the centre axis

PICKED - CANON both named intrusions are gone - the ground at left is bare leaf litter and volcanic gravel with no folded blue-purple object on it, and the tree line is unbroken tropical broadleaf, bamboo and palm with no slender white pole and no white fitting standing in it - and the offer itself stays plant for

PICKED - CRAFT CRAFT: O4 is the only plate that reads as one legible space with real depth and a physical light source — the low sun through the cavern mouth throwing a red path across the lake — with the child clothed shoulder-to-thigh, rounded ears, no conifers, no built object and no incoherent prop (fix on the

PICKED - CANON the child-safety garment line is met - the child's chest and torso are covered by a real woven wrap running from the chest to below the knee where the row had a bare chest above a waist wrap - and the pillar country behind him is genuine flowstone, dripstone and stalactite rather than anything built

PICKED - CANON both halves of the line land at once - the child is clothed to the garment law with chest and shoulders covered, and the second figure is now mid-lunge with a raised burning stave driving forward at him, weight on the front foot, so the beat reads as the COUNTER against a hollowed hunter rather than

PICKED - AUTHENTICITY AUTHENTICITY: O1 is the only layout plate with no modern figure and no cartoon object, and the plunge pool, flat fighting floor and cover line all read at a glance (fix on the pick: restate the coursed dressed-ashlar cover wall as fallen basalt columns and collapsed limestone, and add the red-water

PICKED - CANON THE REGRESSION IS REPAIRED AND THE EARNED AXIS HELD - Rangku Wera stands in the pocket as its subject, an adult Manggarai highland man, lean and weathered, barefoot in a plain undyed handspun wrap with a plain dark shoulder cloth, holding a fire-hardened bamboo stave in the shadowed recess under the
