Decorative Copper Platter Southwestern Folk Art Etched Hammered Birds Coyotes

Decorative copper platter.

Oval shape, approximately 16.5" x 11.5". Sets approximately 1.5" high.

Approximate weight: 1 pound, 9 ounces.

The etched graphics are somewhat abstract and feature unknown birds fluttering around a large flower with what might be coyotes (or Chupacabras) underneath. Several different scroll patterns surround the images. The plate is hand-formed and is therefore quite uneven.  It is hammered throughout and the rim around the edge is rolled under.

No artist signature or makers mark.

For decorative use only, not food use.

Pre-owned.  A small hole exists on one end which may have been a hanging point. Additionally, some sticky residue is evident on the back side where some double sided tape once was.
