That is a steel plate with electric burn marks on it in the shape of a dragon fly, the colors are a patina formed by air exposure as the molten steel cooled in that spot.

Beautiful.

Looks very tactile. How large of a plate is that?

Not the OP so I can't say for sure but I'd guess 12-14 gauges because you can see some warping from how the light is hitting the corners. I'd estimate that the wingspan is gonna be six or seven inches. No idea what dimensions they cut the plate though.
