[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 365711, member: 2844"]Very nice of her. They create the design by hammering on the back, this is called repoussé, and then finely hammering some parts on the front to get more definition in the image, this is called chasing. Copper is very easy to work. The name looks like Sapiano, a name I know from Malta, but it probably is Italian as well. It looks like an African village scene, but could have been made by a European, American, etc. who visited Africa, or was inspired by Africa.[/QUOTE]
