Pouring the brine – statue (detail) at Droitwich, UK

Salinae (= salt works) to the Roman conquerors, Saltwich to the Anglo Saxon conquerors, and Droitwich in more recent times, this town was important as a centre for salt production from the Iron Age, or possibly earlier. In the Domesday Book (1085 CE) the town was listed as producing 1000 tons of salt per annum and was regarded as more valuable than Worcester and Newcastle. The square shapes in this wooden sculpture reflect the cubic structure of salt grains when viewed closely.
