Handmade by Tamara Goldsmith, this unique Panther Chameleon piece is one-of-a-kind.  This piece was designed, hand-cut, copper-foiled, handpainted and assembled using a traditional Tiffany method in her Portland, Oregon studio. Tamara included the most colorful pieces she could find to emulate this majestic reptile. many tiny dots fill out the detail in the CHameleon's skin, and the background glass is clear backlit, reflecting a rainbow iridescence when front lit.
 
Stained Glass, a technique relatively unchanged for hundreds of years, is the ancient art of assembling cut, mineral-infused, handmade art glass together with lead/tin seams. This piece has also been painted with additional details on the front only. 60/40 lead/tin solder was used and the border is lead came. 
The piece will be carefully wrapped to prevent breakage during domestic shipping.
It hangs from a blackened chain about 5 inches from the top and the piece itself is about 14” tall and 11” wide.
Lead is not dangerous to have in your home in an art-piece like this unless sanded or causing lead-dust to be airborne and inhaled or somehow ingested. However, it is always a good idea to wash your hands well after cleaning or handling the piece.
