The goldsmith Cornelys has not been paid for the cradle he made for the king's last child, the one that never saw the light; he claims for twenty shillings disbursed to Hans for painting Adam and Eve on the cradle, and he is owed for white satin, gold tassels and fringes, and the silver for modelling the apples in the garden of Eden.
— Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel
Does the "modelling" here mean "to give a three-dimensional appearance to, as by shading or highlighting" as in # 5 of The Free Dictionary?
