A miner and the goblin !

 

A mosaic in the atrium of Heinrich Robert colliery !


This picture (it was taken on 10.11.1999) shows a miner with his tools. He seems to be in a roadway. Under him - put in chains - there is a mine's goblin. This is a symbol for St. Barbara - the patron saint for the miners and the artillerymen with her day of remembrance on 4th of December - having defeated the evil gobil.

Obviously the goblin seems to have given me a push, otherwise there is no explanation for that the picture has a certain slant ;-).
