My apologies, Anita and James. The mistake of a wannabe Grammarian as opposed to the ignorance of a non-existent metal-worker! :-)

Actually "chased" is the right word here. "Chased," in the context of gold and silver, refers to a metalworking technique where designs are created by hammering the metal from the front using punches and a hammer to create a relief or textured pattern. It also agrees with the original text in English.
