This process involves hand-cutting a design out of a top sheet of silver, which is then sweated (soldered) onto a solid bottom sheet of silver.The Background: The exposed recessed areas of the bottom layer are intentionally textured and oxidized (darkened) to create a deep, high-contrast black backdrop that makes the top design visually pop.The Design: The face features an elegant, elongated oval silhouette containing a stylized spiral or water wave symbol, a classic motif in Native American artistry representing water, continuous life, or spiritual journeys.$125EtsyThis item is unavailable - Etsy · 3 years agoIn stock
