About MeEngraved panel depicting a Native American mounted on horseback, hunting buffalo with a spear. An annotation on the reverse explains that the panel was created using four different methods; grinding, stippling, diamond point scratching, and wobbles (spinning tool that vibrates). A carborundum stone with oil was also used, where the amount of oil used determined the tones of the grey areas.
