To the left is a scaled technical drawing of the andiron showing its height and proportions using a grid with measurements in inches. The andiron is slightly tilted to the right, casting a shadow to the left and downward. The artist's name "Hans Korsch" and the year "1936" are inscribed in the bottom right corner.
