The Story: Damascene is an art form made by inlaying oxidized steel with gold or silver, creating intricate designs that resemble tapestry patterns . It is a process by which deep cuts are used to engrave a design into metal. The metal is then coated with an oxidizing solution which causes it to turn black. The engraved design is then inlayed with gold leaf.
