anvilephant Needed a Mod. -a little lead in the butt

[JonB_in_Glencoe]

The retired owner of the company where I am currently working at, is also an artist, and has started pouring bronze sculptures. He has a series of Anvil shaped animals (the Anvil theme is dedicated to those blacksmiths in his family that have moved on to that forge in the sky).

Anyway this one is a bit nose heavy, He found out I cast boolits and then commisioned me to pour a little lead in this anvilephant's butt. I thought I'd share some photo's.

I like that. It would look very cool on my front porch.

Maybe if you have a real small front porch.
I suppose it's difficult to get an idea of the size from the photo.
it's about 2" tall and about 5" long.
I don't think it's for sale, I delivered it back to the owner/artist today,
for what He paid me to carefully pour about ½ lb of lead into it,
I can only imagine what he might charge for the piece (lots more than I'd pay).

JonB: I just looked at the background for scale, yeah you're right. I guessed it was based on a real anvil and was maybe 40-50 lbs and big enough to hold a plant pot or something.
