The shape of this work is reminiscent of the Chinese Coin and was inspired by the artist's travels to China. The textured surface along the curved side was achieved with the "glue chipped" technique, which involves etching the glass then applying animal hide glue and allowing it to dry. The drying glue exerts pressure on the surface and chips off pieces of glass in a random pattern.
