The photo shows a blacksmith's artifact called the Wedge by the Wedge. These are two metal wedges, connected by forging. The author is the artistic blacksmith Ivan Šarközy from the village Dunajská Lužná. The photos were taken during the European Roma Blacksmithing Symposium in 2014. The idea for the creation of this artifact arose from the proverb that says: the wedge is being wedged with a wedge.Ivan Sarkozy was born into the family with smithing ingrained in its history. In Dunajska Luzna he works in their family blacksmithery. His professional education is the ship mechanic, the profession he never worked in. He is fully dedicated to the smithing, especially smithcraft. His hobby is creation of iron sculptures made of iron scrap.
