Gilded Hollow form

This is a hollow form about 9" tall and 6" wide. Gilded with Dutch Metal (imitation gold) and patina'd with Barium Sulfide and Sodium Sulfide. It is not exactly how I had hoped it would turn out. I was hoping the subtle music notes wouldn't have been so subtle

Maybe just a touch larger would have helped the notes.  The piece is wonderful. 
Cool

That is a beautiful form and the finish really makes it look like a one of a kind archeology find. thumbsup

There is no tune. The notes are from a metal template that we used to use in older theater lights to project an image onto the stage before digital projection came along.

I love the music notes, great touch. I like that they are subtle, it gives the piece some character. Cool

Dale,
Did you insert the metal notes into the HF?

No Chuck, the pieces was painted black, and a piece of stamped metal put down before I put the leaf on to block the notes out. When the metal was lifted off, the black showed through.
