Coal Miner

Coal Miner is a public artwork by Polish American artist John J. Szaton (1907–1966) which is located in two US state capitals; the original, commissioned in 1963 in Springfield, Illinois, as well as a copy on the west lawn of the Indiana State House in Indianapolis, Indiana. The statues commemorate coal miners who had lost their lives in those states' mining industries. The 7-foot (2.1 m) tall statue rests on a 3-foot (0.91 m) square, granite base supported by a cement foundation that is 4–6 inches (100–150 mm) thick.
