I can't really tell you much about it just from those two pictures other than it's a hammered copper relief of Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper. I've seen similar reliefs that were made as early as the 1800s, or as recently as a few years ago. Are there any markings on it of any kind?
markings as in what?...........what should we look for?
Since there isn't a full view shot, is there writing of any kind on the front, and are there any markings (stamps, insignias, anything) on the back? Something that could be unique to this piece in way of either a quote or a manufacturers mark?
We've taken more pics/they have turned out alright and will post soon. Did notice a small stamp to the left of third disicple from the right. Closer looks reveals an angel inside the stamp facing right holding something. Other than that no markings or initials anywhere.......what do u think??
