Description: | Experimental aluminium Mokume Gane sample. Mokume Gane was developed 300 years ago and the term comes from traditional sword-making techniques and refers to the patterns forged into the sword blades.The technique is difficult and laborious and as a result examples are relatively rare. The technique is such that each piece is unique. This example was made by Ian Ferguson in 1998. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Subjects: | Aluminium mokume sample | Temporal: | 1998 | Source: | Science Museum | Creator: | Ferguson,Ian(Dr) | Identifier: | 2001-85 | Go to resource |
