I love the use of simple forging techniques to produce decorative features on these old anvils.
The combination of chamfering and fullering to produce pyramidal corners and the effect of a nose on the central column of the anvil is great blacksmithing.
While many call these "church window" anvils I see faces in the eye sockets and "nose".
I also like the steps on these and other anvils made simply by welding on blocks of wrought iron.
