Maya Art and Architecture
Chasing is a metalworking technique that involves creating a design or pattern by striking the surface of a metal sheet with a specialized tool, known as a chasing tool or punch. This technique allows artisans to produce intricate designs and textures on the metal surface, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the finished piece. Chasing is often used in combination with other techniques like repousse, where the metal is pushed from the back to create three-dimensional forms.
