• NEVER SEEN BEFORE: The careful layering of engraved elements with colour technologies and a blacklight effect adds unprecedented complexity to a scene that can instantly transition from day to dusk.
• When viewed in the natural light, the reverse features a daytime scene filled with summer sunlight that heightens the colours of the sky and the eagle. When viewed under a blacklight, a glowing sunset dramatically paints the sky and adds longer shadows to the surface of the water below.
• TRANSLUCENT ENAMEL mimics the look of the blue sky reflecting on the water.
• COMPLEX ENGRAVING is a constant and brings the landscape to life, with different frostings that convey distance and mimic shade cast by passing clouds.
• STRATEGIC LAYERING: The water element brings all the technologies together, with shadows and a glowing sunset painted onto the transparent blue enamel, which colours the engraved underwater view.
• SIMPLY STUNNING: A gorgeous addition to any nature-, wildlife- or Canadiana-themed collection, and a spectacular gift for any art appreciator.
