20 points for all!
The internet has made this I-SPY book defunct. |
10. A carpenter? That hammer looks rather big for such work.
I don't know what the I SPY book says, but the sculptor himself, Thomas Brock, described the figure, entitled "Manufacture" as "a brawny smith standing hammer in hand". The tool in his belt looks like a pair of pliers - although he is presumably not planning to fit horseshoes to the animal standing beside him. |
Good answers score full points.
There was never a requirement for children to be miserably pedantic. |
I thought Timbo's comment was jolly interesting!

Returning to 10 - a smith, certainly, but there are several different types of pliers, for instance snipe-nosed, round-nosed, running & so on. The ones on the belt of the smith in the statue are Carpenter's pliers (also known as nail-pulling pliers), designed for nail pulling - which is why a smith would have them.

(23) Statue of Charles I
A journalist was reported to have stolen His Majesty's sword reporting a demonstration. So it is not original. |
Steve - do you mean a Farrier rather than a Smith ?
