Rare repoussé baptism medal from 1800`s made by C.G. ULRICH with official mark. On the reverse we can see STU mark.
This repoussé method of creating medals is a metalworking technique in which a malleable metal is ornamented or shaped by hammering from the reverse side.
The technique of repoussé is the one least frequently employed, although it was used quite widely in the Netherlands during the 17th century.
Here the medal is made by hammering a thin shell of a metal blank into a hollow die on which the artist has made a design. The obverse and reverse of the medals, which are made separately, are then soldered
together, the resulting medal being hollow.
Embossing produces much the same effect but the process is reversed. Here the design is formed by pressing down the background, leaving the design in relief.
