Rizal Monument

6

Artist: Prince

Age: 8

Lead-safety Message: Rizal Monument in Manila includes a sculpture of Philippines national hero Jose Rizal, that was cast, in 1912, from molten bronze containing possibly up to 20% lead. Occupational exposure to lead fumes back then would have been massive and would certainly have contributed to the early death of the bronze workers.

Description of Work: Pen and coloured textas on paper.
