Collectors prize the ancient life-size clay statues of human figures made on Kali Island but have long wondered how Kalinese artists were able to depict bodies with such realistic precision. Since archaeologists have recently discovered molds of human heads and hands on Kali, we can now conclude that the ancient Kalinese artists used molds of actual bodies, not sculpting tools and techniques, to create these statues. This discovery explains why Kalinese miniature statues were abstract and entirely different in style: molds could be used only for life-size sculptures. It also explains why few ancient Kalinese sculpting tools have been found. In light of this discovery, collectors predict that the life-size sculptures will decrease in value while the miniatures increase in value.
Write a response in which you discuss what questions would need to be answered in order to decide whether the prediction and the argument on which it is based are reasonable. Be sure to explain how the answers to these questions would help to evaluate the prediction.
Collectors of ancient sculptures have mentioned that due recent discovery of molds near Kali island, it will have profound effect on prizes if life-sized sculptures. Also due to this, miniatures will increase in value, but this prediction is itself based on number of false assumptions.
Firstly, life-size human statues are found near Kali island by collectors and they have mentioned it as made by Kalinese artists. Questions arises here, How one can confirms same without any further detailed proof. It may be the case that sculptures were made somewhere at another place and after that they have shifted to Kali island. Eventually, if my first point is true then molds of human bodies, which has been detected at Kali may not be used for making statues. So assumption made by collectors doesn't hold validity in both the cases. Even though sculptures are made at Kali, there is no sure indication made by collectors that molds have same size, texture as that of sculptures.
Secondly, false conclusion has been drawn by collectors that, due discovery of molds, Kali artists had not used sculpting tools and technique. To prove this, collector will have to present some more detailed information. Also they have concluded that these molds, used by Kali artist, only meant for sculpture making without any pragmatic proof. Also it may be the case in which molds are made entirely at different era than that of sculptures creation. So collectors discovery in this case doesn't hold validity.
Thirdly, Due to recent discovery, value of life-sized sculpture will decrease and consequently value of miniatures will increase. My first objection to this assumption is, there is no direct relationship mentioned in between miniatures and life-sized sculptures, then how collector can predict this result out of this. Also my second objection is, though discovery of molds can tell us regarding technique used by Kali artist, but that doesn't mean to be worthless as compare to miniatures.
So in nutshell, based on very vague assumptions collectors has predicted their result out of recent discovery. To prove their point they have to come up with more strong point and has to do more research on Kali people and their history.
