This is a terracotta wall panel at the Natural History Museum in London. Museums are a great place for finding things to draw; he lighting brought out the relief of the panel nicely. I used a dip pen and nib and a bottle of Indian ink. The flexible pen nib makes it possible to vary the line width as you draw. The highlights were left as white paper. I did this particular piece from a photo.

Here are some close-ups :
