maybe help.but this not my natural language

first making a thin sheet of silver or gold,its better for the next step if the silver or gold is "muda". Use a "jabungan" (mix of asphalt and teracota core) as a base when making motif on the silver sheet ,with chisel and hammer. this jabungan will follow the deep of line from the chisel knock,not fight back! compare it if doing it on wood or metal.and also lock the silver sheet nicely.
this jabungan can be clean by puling it.
after all part done then soldering, then fiilling it with mix of terracota dust and
damar sap.there two kind of damar sap in market: 1.Gondorukem 2.Moto Kucing,this one have yellow color of cat eyes.
sometime the silver sheet are very muda mean that ratio of silver and copper can be 50:50 or 40:60 this way the material will be tough for that kind of work.this ratio will make the silver a little bit yellow if not just been polished.
sorry for english
