Just received this behemoth in the mail. It is amazing. One of the coolest things I have had the pleasure of owning. I just wanted to share since it was a bit hard to find

While detail cleaning can bring visual excitement, it might remove patination. A conundrum. |

I think I will keep it as is. I don’t want to corrode anything since it in very good condition for its age

See the pics of how it will look. You can't remove the patina by this, copper and brass wire will get black again in a short time. But the tribes have done such a time-killing artwork not to be invisible I guess. Regards, Detlef |

No, it's not mine, I've taken the pics from old threads. I collect mainly South-East-Asia but I like this wire work. May I ask you which metals are used in the wire from your beautiful new toy? Regards, Detlef |

I can’t be 100% sure, but based on its age and place of origin likely brass and copper
