Why? The contrast between the higher portions and lower portions of the design were fantastic in the last photo you took. Why dip it in olive oil and lose that? I bet it's all one color now, and the design is not as bold.
I've never understood why people do this. Olive oil doesn't actually accomplish anything. It is not a cleaning method. It's messy, and it actually has a negative effect on relics in the long run.
That said, Great find. A VA button has been on my list to dig for years.
