Editing Repoussé and chasing (section)

===Ancient Egypt===
In 1400 BC, the Egyptian [[Amarna]] period, resin and mud for repoussé backing was in use.

A fine example of Egyptian repoussé is the mummy mask of [[Tutankhamun]], a [[Pharaoh]] of the late [[Eighteenth Dynasty]]. The majority of the mask was formed using the technique of repoussé from what appears to be a single sheet of gold. The lapis lazuli and other stones were inlaid in chased areas after the height of the form was completed.  The ceremonial beard, [[Nekhbet]] vulture, and [[Uraeus]] were attached separately.
