The metalwork in Baena is currently related to the traditions of Holy Week by remaining exclusively at the service of brotherhoods and brotherhoods. The making of the most demanded objects, among them Jewish helmets, allow the craftsman to put into practice decorative techniques such as inset (making motifs with a blunt chisel to prevent the sheet from being cut) and inlay (embossed by the obverse on a body already in relief), but also others such as dotted dotted or technique carried out from the back of the piece to obtain motifs based on points in relief on the front; the incised decoration, consisting of incision with a buril on the piece and under a firm support that holds the object, or the  stamping  that is carried out by hammering pressure on the back of the sheet with a metal punch at the end of which is the drawing to be reproduced in relief. 

Despite being a job that can be carried out throughout the year, it is mainly concentrated in the three months prior to Holy Week, as there is an increase in the demand for “white-tailed” and “black-tailed” Roman and Jewish helmets, as well as of funds or circular structures of golden metal for the drums that will flood the streets of the city giving life to a tradition of centuries.
