The Three Smiths statue, Bronze sculpture in central Helsinki, Finland
The Three Smiths statue portrays three muscular men hammering on an anvil, crafted in realistic detail by sculptor Felix Nylund in bronze and granite.
The statue, unveiled in 1932, bears marks from the 1944 Continuation War bombing, including a shrapnel hole in the anvil that remains visible today.
The faces in the sculpture represent poet Arvid Mörne, sculptor Felix Nylund himself, and sculptor Aku Nuutinen, while wrestlers from Jyry sports club modeled the bodies.
Located at the intersection of Aleksanterinkatu and Mannerheimintie, the statue stands on heated ground that prevents snow and ice accumulation during winter months.
Each November, students from the University of Helsinki place Santa Claus hats on the smiths during the Wappujoulu celebration organized by Limes student organization.
