Snake Belt Buckle

This is forged stainless steel with a true acid patina applied.
Matt-the -patina-guy (who is on tribe )does all my more complex patinas for jewelry and sculpture. He is an absolutely a brilliant chemist. After forging into the shape, I have ornamented the surface with punching and chasing. Then I welded on the belt clip and tongue and past it over to Matt for the final patina.
