Mardi Gras is a famous festival with roots in Christian culture and the pagan spring and fertility rituals. It is also celebrated as Carnival/Carnaval in other countries and cultures, generally with a large population of people of the Roman Catholic faith.

The name "Mardi Gras" is French and translates to "Fat Tuesday." Celebrations traditionally start on the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday and have become a weeklong festival in some countries.

The process of enamelling is used to grant these silver rounds intense bright colours that last longer than regular paint. The process consists of fusing powdered glass with a metal substrate at a high temperature.
