Copper Foil Lady

[cambria09]

Hello All. This thing is made of copper foil, a bit thicker than heavy Al foil, and 7-IN by 3-IN. The house on the site is 1940's but I have dug several 1900's and older items.

Found it last month, bent in half flat w two corners folded in. Straightened it a few days ago and set it aside without much inspection. A couple more days go by, I pick it up and there she was. A woman dressed in Egyptian or religious garb.

Anyway what is it? Nice relic or old junk? Thanks for the view. C9

Looks like a Native American Indian woman to me. Doing copper like that I believe was popular before WWII. One of my Aunts made several photo albums
with artwork on copper on the covers of the albums. I took a picture of a couple she made, and I remember one that the art work wasn't cut out, the album
cover was the more like yours, covering the board.
This first one is my baby pictures, born in i937.
And this on was done for my Uncle who was a pilot for TWA, and note the airplane is a DC3, which also dates it back to before WWII.
