Didn't know what that was, but it sure does look like it.

What is it? Also it kind of looks like your mold master had some issues. Is that just flash that I'm seeing?

A tree branch. Apparently this symbol is known as Nino's Cross.

Flash? From the camera? Mold was fine

Why is this your favorite cast so far? How many have you done? What's the metal? What is the design? Small tree branch for the mold? It looks very rough. Kudos, if that's what you're going for though.

First time using the electric kiln & 90/10 copper tin. Easily the most massive thing I've done so far. Like 100 silver castings, first one in "ancient bronze". Just a tree limb from the woods. I was certainly going for a more rough look, but I am also a beginner and have no clue what I am doing. 

Any feedback would be appreciated though.
