Hello,
So far, they’ve been calling me RHINO.
If the name works for you, let’s keep it. If not – I’m open to suggestions. I’m not one to get hung up on appearances.
I just wanted to briefly introduce myself. And share a few things you might not notice at first glance.
I’m heavy. In the best possible way. And I come from a very hot place. My head was heated to nearly 1,200 degrees Celsius – that’s when it was shaped from molten glass, and the colored glass and gold leaf were applied. Not an easy process, or so they say at the furnace. Things got a little rough now and then, and I picked up a few small scars along the way. I think they suit me.
My body? Steel. Shaped under intense heat, as it should be. At first, my surface has a fine, rust-colored haze. Sometimes it looks a bit patchy – but that changes with time. It slowly develops into an even layer of patina that protects me. And gives me character. Refined rust, you could say. I just take a little while to grow into myself.
A small note: in the rain, some of that rust might wash off. So I’d prefer to stand on a surface that won’t mind.
