Crafts – Metalworks

This is made by the hammering technique shaping the entire piece with a sheet of iron without welding or riveting. Ornaments such as this were made by developing the technique of producing armor. With skillful handling of iron, which does not spread very much, the wing tips and legs of pigeon are formed minutely.
