Indigenous art by Tlingit artist Calvin Morberg. 3" long, hand made from sterling silver by repousse and chasing. 29" silver chain included.
Yukon carver, Calvin Morberg, of the Dak’lawèidí (eagle clan) of the inland Tlingit Nation, immerses you in foundational Tlingit artistic traditions while exploring silver medium. He reclaims his spiritual heritage through creating art in the traditions of his ancestors.
Repoussé is used to shape a piece of metal by working on the reverse of the metal with hammers and punches to form a raised design on the front. Chasing is is the opposite technique used to refine the design on the front of the work by hammering to sink the metal. The two techniques are used together to create a three dimensional piece of art.
