Whoops! I guess there's only one cloisonne. Still, if a cloisonne of a 
person of no particular interest to the pawnbroker is worth "a bit of 
money", having one of done of a specific person could be a considerable 
expense, especially if the image was supplied by a known artist like 
Fechin. (Though I think Casdoe's dad is misrembering Rudesinde as 
"Fechin" when he talks about the scampy, long-limbed boy artist.)
