The Meandering Mississippi River Cuff features the River in 1863 winding its way from Baton Rouge through New Orleans to the Mouth of the River and into the Gulf. It shows the full delta before the drastic subsidence of the more recent years.
It is handcrafted through an intensive etching process from a historic map culled from the Library of Congress. It has two layers of handpainted patinas, to create depth and color, and it is hammer-formed and hand sanded and polished to create a lasting piece.
