While cleaning my parents garage, i found some artwork that i
remember seeing in their home in the 1950's.There are two
etchings? of horses 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.

I wasn't paying attention when I was typing it though. It's spelled:
repousse
