Subject:Help identifying an etched / engraved metal picture of two koi
Posted By: Paul Wed, May 23, 2018 IP: 157.127.124.151

Trying to figure out what I can about this. Have looked all over the internet, no luck. Top character supposedly is "XIU",Chinese, but from what I understand a lot of Japanese artists sign that way. Seal does not look like a date. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The engraved name on the repoussé work reaads,
秀鳳 - Shuhō 
I could find more repousse works from the same artist - without any biographical - information on the Japanese Yahoo auction sites.
My tentative reading of seal,
別  - Betsu

With regards,
I.Nagy

Thank you very much I.Nagy for the information. I will search further to see if I can find what era this is from. Assuming from your answer this is Japanese in origin. Ajd thanks for the proper name of this art, a repoussé . YOu have been very helpful, again my many thanks.

Paul
