This art Piece is called Uraeus by Anselm Kiefer and is made of lead and stainless steel.
Now for some reason I knew that Uraeus is a greek word and is a representation of a sacred Serpent, and was often found on the headresses of ancient Egyptian Dieties.

Now why I knew that I have no idea, my brain stores all kinds of random information LOL.

At first I wasn't sure why this piece was named Uraeus, but then I noticed the serpent climbing up the support.

A cool photo and I share your opinion that the brain stores so many different facts. Sometimes I also notice it and never cease to wonder how interesting the human mind. Perhaps our possibilities are unlimited, but we do not always know how to use them 100 percent.

Thanks and yes its hard to imagine that we only use such a small percentage of our brain power, would perhaps be scary of we could harness it all

Beautiful artwork and great photography sir. The buildings look so historical.

Thanks kindly but no need to call me sir JJ is fine :)

I remembered a decoration of hogwarts. spectacular

Your a second one to Mention Harry Potter, so it is most likely related or similar to somehting for sure thanks ofor the visit

I just love this piece. It reminds me of a medical symbol, doesn't it, in some ways? I didn't realize Anselm Kiefer did this one in lead, but, it is one of his favorite ways to sculps, right?

I saw some pieces he did years ago at MOMA and even though he has always been a little politically charged, I love how his pieces speak.

I can only imagine walking down the street and having this beauty pop into my path. A most wonderful edit and you did the piece justice! It's is wonderful!

Tip!

I dont know the artist at all but I really like htis piece and need to research what else he has done for sure

And yes thinking about it it does look very much like a medical symbol

:)

Very cool pictures my friend.👍
