The famous Italian art technique of sgraffito is accomplished by scratching through a material's surface to reveal the lower contrasting layer. It was used during the Renaissance, in the decoration of buildings and palace facades. Nelson Yatsattie made stunning use of this artistic approach in a roughly 2 1/2" long, 1" wide and 1 3/4" tall personality-plus Bobcat (or wildcat). This lovely and intricate treatment really emphasizes fur and enhances the beauty of the serpentine specimen. Observant eyes are from turquoise inlays.
