This metal sculpture is from 1989. The base is a heavy piece of quality
brass. The cane is of brass wire. The rest of the figure is made of iron nails
and is painted black and gold. On the
bottom, the artist used an electric engraving pen to mark "Hephaestus
1989." I do not know if that is the
name of the piece or the name of the artist.
Regardless, Hephaestus is the god of the forge and smithy work to the
ancient Greeks and Romans, where he is known as Vulcan. This figure is about 6 inches tall.
