Description: | Once the pedimental decoration to the Armstrong Works projectile shop, this lintel now crowns a set of steep stairs running from Amethyst Drive to William Armstrong Drive above. The relief carving shows a heraldic arm and hammer, above a helmeted head which protrudes much further. Large gun barrels are carved either side of the head, which may be a representation of Mars, the Roman god of war. | Subjects: | Sculpture | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Sculptor: Not known | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=7541... | Go to resource |
