Pattern plate

Unknown artist

Rectangular pattern sheet for with pattern on both sides. The pattern was filled with wax to then be transferred to a thin rice paper. The negative pattern was transferred to the glass, after which etching salts were added. They share the pattern as carried out in relief, no protective layer of wax left behind (after the pressure of rice paper on the glass), therefore its surfaces became etched.
