vaciados de las marcas
Spanish to English
Tech/Engineering
Architecture
Mosque in Cordoba, Spain
Junto al recinto parroquial, el llamado museo de San Esteban ofrece testimonios decorativos de las portadas, vaciados de las marcas que los canteros mozárabes dejaron en la ampliación de Almanzor y otras curiosidades arqueológicas.
I don't know what the vaciados is doing here, really. It doesn't say much to me. I am tempted to leave it out altogether and say:
the marks left by the Mozarab stonemasons during al-Mansur’s extension
What do you think?

Just an idea.

Marcas de Cantero o también llamados Signos Lapidarios, son las marcas personales que grababan los canteros en la piedra, para indicar que es suyo el trabajo y de esta forma cobrar por la cantidad de piedras labradas.
También los signos, podían ser marcas de posición en la obra, para que el albañil, las colocasen de determinada manera.

So maybe these are plaster cast replicas of the stonemasons' marks (signs)? Could that be possible?
Just an idea.
