I found the following link from Wally Asselbergas=B9 page.

http://www.Arteraku.it

Some of the vocabulary was nothing like Spanish or Portuguese, so I clicked
on the English version.

On the colors page, it listed various colorants, including =B3oxide of pond=B2,
and =B3oxide of branch=B2.

Several translation sites gave the same translation of stagno and rame.
Rame in reduction gives =B3red they steal=B2. I figured it was copper, but it
took several translation sites to figure out that stagno was tin. Stagno
gives =B3white man=B2 in both oxidation and reduction.

I=B9ll be thinking about the relationship between pond and tin, and branch an=
d
copper. I haven=B9t come up with anything yet.

Good pictures on the site.
