Why couldn't it be a an image of a different granite cabochon?

I think so, too: art images can be of a wide variety of common objects, pretty much anything from smooth pebbles to crossbow bolts, and also cut gems. Images of the latter only specify the cut type (rose cut, trillion cut, cushion cabochon...). That the dwarf chose to use cushion cabochons to make a picture of one is just a funny coincidence.

Oh so it could have been, say, "a(n) image of rectangle cabochon in granite" ... made from "cushion granite cabochon" as well? DF semirandom generator of art images strikes back.

So after encrusting, is it impossible to find out from which type of cut (round cabochons, cushion cabochons...) that encrusting was done with because there is now only material ("in granite") and not the type of cut used?

I'm pretty sure that's the case, yeah. That seems to answer it, so I'm resolving this, but feel free to reopen if there's anything else.

OK, the third part was answered. Thanks.

But what about those two grammar bugs, 1) either "a" or plural and 2) "a" instead of "an"? Note the list in the end of description.

Yeah, those two are incorrect. I added an "a" in the third one (before "cushion") to match the full description.
