Hi Dears,
It is a silver candy dish which almost took over 6 months the war theme, a relief style with repouse and chasing technique.The design is drawn from The Battle of Anghiari (1505) is a lost painting by Leonardo da Vinci and two works of peter paul rubens.
I am glad to hear that. As a matter of fact I wished to come to USA and teach different styles I work here which each one has its own beauty . So my wife won DV lottery 2018 and I was happy to share my art but due to Trump ban we could not get visa.
Thankd
Thanks so much I am happy you all liked it. You are right it took 3 months to finish since in all of my works I focus on the different moods of man and it is really difficult to do on metal and stone.
The important matter for using tar or pitch is the weight which is problematic for example my new project is a sheet of copper of 80x100 cm which you can imagine how heavy it is when tar is used on the back. But for solving this problem I could just use the tar on the parts which I want to start...
Thanks for the information . Yes I found some information in the following sites:

and unfortunately it can not be find in Iran.
Thanks Dave. Yes it is done on copper of 1.5 mm thickness but we do not have pitch in Iran rather we use tar which of course is heavy. I do not know exactly the nature of pitch and whether it is heavy or light which of course the lighter the better. An no bowl is used as in the portraits you can...
