copper plates: Mississippian mound builder art

<< < (6/6)

swamp monkey:
Here a few new copper plate replicas:
The first one is from Lake Jackson Florida.  This bird man dancer has an elaborate headdress including a bi-lobed arrow, a stone mace, what looks like a shell club, and a bird mask. 
Second is a plate from Spiro Oklahoma that features a warrior head surrounded by arrowheads. 

The copper scrap from this was contributed to my copper blade project in the primitive skills section.

swamp monkey:
Another Malden MO copper plate (H) and another from Sprio OK.

The last one is a dancing bird man theme from Union County Illinois.  I fauxed up a patina for an artsy look and mounted it. 

Thanks for looking. 

swamp monkey:
In 2016 i tried my best to improve my copper plate art skills.  I recreated all 8 of the Malden copper plates and some others.  I am getting better at not leaving tool marks but i still want to get better.

Thanks for looking.
