Standing Panda with Bamboo

A rectangular frame encloses this giant panda design, holding the bear as it reaches for a leafy stalk of bamboo. Photo-etched texturing separates the iconic dark patches around its eyes and ears from the rest of its dense coat. In my collection, I appreciate how the flat brass sheet is pierced away to leave a sturdy yet open portrait that lets light pass right through the bamboo forest setting.
