Aries - zodiac sign - magnet; enameled metal
A great birthday gift!
Made using the enamel sign technique, exactly the same as street name signs or office plaques.
An extremely weather-resistant technique.
Enameling is one of the oldest and most durable artistic craft techniques, known as early as the first millennium BCE. The main component of enamel is powdered glass melted at high temperature, colored with metal oxides and applied to a metal base. It creates a glassy, durable, colorful coating that can be ground and polished.
