New Testament parable (Luke 15:11-32): A lively scene showing the Prodigal Son at supper with courtesans at an inn, accompanied by servants and musicians. The room, whose light source comes from a high leaded window on the left, is filled with many still-life details and rich symbolism. In the far left corner is a four-postered bed completely enclosed by velvet drapery. On the opposite side of the room through the open doorway, a thief is being chased by an angry woman, while another figure in a second-story window empties a chamber pot onto his head. Just inside the doorway, hanging on the wall, is a wooden board used for recording the guest's food and wine bill. Having placed his red velvet cloak, plumed cavalier's hat, fur piece and sword on a nearby chair, the Son sits at the round dining table and holds out his glass for a serving boy to fill. On the right, a serving woman carrying a covered pewter platter exchanges a word with the woman whose back is toward us, while a small dog wags his tail in anticipation of receiving the table scraps. A fiddler and a flutist stand behind the table, merrily playing their instruments. On another cloth-covered table in the left foreground are a pitcher, two glasses, and several loaves of crusty bread. On the floor below is a copper wine cooler containing several bottles of wine. Nearby, a monkey, dressed in a striped coat and wearing a ball and chain, munches on an apple.

Wine vessel; bronze with gold, silver, and copper inlay. This vessel, variously called Hu, Lei, and Min is closely related to the Ting inlaid with silver, Karlgren Number 47 (50.46.76), and may possibly be part of the same set. The decor of the several belts is largely based on single and double volutes and volutes with triangles. These typical elements of the Huai decor must, to a degree, be extremely corrupted and geometricized derivatives of zoomorphic motifs (dragons and birds). The moveable ring handles, with an inlaid pattern, are fixed in the mouths of silver t'ao-t'ieh masks applied to the shoulder. The inlay in this decor belt includes gold as well as silver; the remainder is in silver only. This wine vessel is one of the most splendid examples of Late Chou bronze art and the inlay technique. Patina dark brown with green patches.

The artist tossed US currency pennies of random numbers and years creating patterns to be blind embossed into copper foil. A total of 28 compositions were produced. Holes corresponding to the composition were laser-cut into a 20 x 24 x 1/8 inch acrylic sheet and 3 mil copper foil was adhered to the sheet using Drytac Facemount film adhesive. Coins with corresponding dates and orientation were fitted into the sheet and embossed into the foil using an etching press. The coins were removed, the cavities filled with Durham's Rock Hard Water Putty, and the foil was wrapped around the acrylic sheet's edge and secured with Scotch Double Sided Tape. The embossed foil-wrapped acrylic sheet was then adhered to 3/8 inch medium density fiber board using DAP Weldwood Contact Cement. A label bearing the publisher's name, the artist's signature, date and inventory number was then affixed to the back. The artist chose to leave the metal surface unfinished allowing it to age and patina just as the coins they are based on expecting and welcoming the changes. The rate and amount of change will vary depending on their environment.
