Layers of enamel applied on a copper base. Enamel was etched for a matte surface. It reminds me of ancient pottery.

Anyone know what this might be? I found in under some debris in Conesus Creek below Paper Mill Falls. It looked as if it had been there for year. Hard to see, but there are designs in the middle and at the bottom. The top notch seemed to indicate that this hooked onto something else at one time.

A small and personal project - it won't resonate with you as much as it does for me; these items are symbols for me, nostalgia, evoking memories and emotions. Items I've kept throughout the years that are meaningful in some way.
The way I've photographed these (as well as the series' name) was actually inspired by the opening titles of Sy Fy's Warehouse 13.

Iron and copper artifacts were made at the mission. At Misión Espíritu Santo, Goliad. Texas. Full name: Mission Nuestra Señora de la Bahía del Espíritu Santo de Zúñiga. The partially restored mission is at Goliad State Park, which I visited on March 16, 2021.
Early in the 18th century, the Spanish crown decided securing its claim to Texas required establishing settlements there. Unable to recruit willing settlers in Spain, the crown turned to missions as an alternative. A mission was a fortified village run by a few priests and supported by a few soldiers. The crown supplied seed money and the soldiers. An Indian group would be persuaded to abandon their nomadic ways, embrace the Roman Catholic faith and move into the mission. The priests instructed them in the faith and in farming, ranching and European skills. The soldiers instructed them in the use of European weapons and tactics. In this win-win arrangement, the crown got its settlement, the Indians got a more dependable food supply and the priests got souls for God. After a generation or two, the Indians no longer needed the mission and would leave it to settle in the vicinity. The mission church sometimes remained in service, to minister to the local community.
Inlay and Banjo by Renée Karnes
This project took two years and 700 hours to complete. Since Renée was building the banjo for herself, she wanted to create more of an art piece than an instrument used for performing. She came up with the idea for the theme while on a hunting trip in 2004, “I wanted to show the beauty of nature, and the hunt, using scenes with animals and birds. I drew the resonator back and the back of the peghead while on that trip.” The design includes 61 different animals, birds and fish, all engraved. Some are so small you need magnifiers to see them. Every piece of shell has engraving on it, except one. And, with the exception of four small pieces of reconstituted stone, the colors in all of the scenes were done with shell. One may wonder why she built a 5-string banjo: because she needed the extra room on the fingerboard to get the overall effect of the river running the full length along with individual scenes in each fret.

I'm really attracted to the color orange. It's not my favorite color (I really don't have one), but for some reason, I respond to it better.
