Tong van Lucifer, Copper sculpture on Knardijk, Netherlands

The steel-framed structure rises 9 meters high and 4 meters wide, wrapped in copper wire that creates a green oxidized surface.

Reindert Wepko van de Wint designed this sculpture in 1993 as part of an initiative by Rijkswaterstaat to enhance the A6 highway landscape.

The sculpture generated discussions among political groups and residents regarding its name and placement along the highway near Lelystad.

The structure requires regular maintenance due to weather damage and copper theft, leading to multiple restorations since its installation.

The oval-shaped monument contains an internal steel frame covered with kilometers of copper wire, making it visible from long distances.
