While cleaning my parents garage, i found some artwork that i remember

on *raised or embossed material which looks like thin aluminum or
bronze material and attached to wood with many small rivets. I was
just curious if anyone was familiar with this technique? It appears
that it is all done by hand as opposed to a template of some type.


Sounds like repouss to me.
