Jaded Miners - The Forbidden City, Beijing

Ancient Chinese miners immortalized in a stone monolith.

And here is the monolith for reference:

If you look closely, you can see the miners roughly two thirds of the way down from the top pf the monolith.

People have been mining. Very timely. Nice that they are honored in some jade.

2. Amazing how well you made a point - in showing both pictures and

therefore context. It is a dangerous and oppressive job, and should not be done without the utmost safety precautions if at all.

Beautiful sculpture.
