Granulation is a method by which tiny, metal granules are attached to a metal surface without solder in an ornamental pattern. Mesopotamia was the birthplace of this goldsmith technique. It later spread to the southern Mediterranean region but it was the Etruscans that developed the granulation technique to the highest standards of perfection.
After preparing small granules, I applied them by using an organic glue and a small brush to the base piece. I used a medium flame to fuse the granules to the base.
