"The History of Metalworking" is a 1930-31 metal frieze crafted by Rose Iron Works craftsman George Kotalik. It traces the evolution of metalwork from the Iron Age to modern times. Each figure is hand-hammered of thin sheet metal that Rose scavenged from scrap automobile fenders. The frieze is 12 inches high and about 80 feet long, and hangs in rows from the ceiling of the forge room, where in centuries-old fashion, hot furnaces continue to make iron malleable.
