Another form of art in India was through metal crafts and sculptors. Blacksmiths made silverware and tools for the wealthy out of iron, which lasted 10 times longer than what the poor had. The wealthy also had iron detailed vases, and other decorations in their homes. Even back then they had gold, copper, and iron stuff. A pillar was made in 400 CE, it's 25 feet tall, it weighs 6.5 tons, and it's still standing today. I got to see it today, it was so big, I couldn't believe it, there was no rust on it, barely any damage, it looks incredible in 450 and in 2008. Blacksmiths worked for higher classes in the caste system like brahmin, for churches and other religious ceremonial things, and for kshatriyas because they could afford more and better metals. That's all you'll be hearing from me for now. I'm coming back to 2008 and going home, I'm so excited to see my family and friends.
