The first step was to transfer the drawing to the metal, with a hard steel point.
Then is the moment to make the channels that later they will be enlayed by the silver. Romans and good replica makers make that wit a engraver. I'm not a good replicamaker, so i use the acidetching sistem. We have to protect the metal with a coating. It's a mixture of asphalt and other elements, available in shops of fine arts. The zones that don't were painted were etched, making those channels before mentioned.
We have yet our sheath protected. Well, the colour is similar to the final result.
