The sheets are cut from steel drums colored by oil and other liquids the drums at one time held. The process of turning sheets of metal into beautiful wall art is all done by hand from cutting holes that become edges of trees and leaves to accenting each animal with a texture of scales to painting or lacquering the final design. The artists are proud of their work often signing the pieces on the back side leaving a raised reversed signature on the front.The handcrafted touch of artisan skill creates variations in color size and design. If buying two of the same item slight differences should be expected. Note: Color discrepancies may occur between this product and your computer screen.Imported
