Miners Following the Gold

A deep mine shored up with timber beams, where helmeted miners work in six stone rooms under layered rock. Top left, five miners and a white-bearded foreman pore over a map on a stone table beneath a notice board. In the middle room a miner and a colleague weigh ore at a bench beside a cart, in front of a rock face threaded with gold. On the right, loaded ore carts roll on rails past a weighing platform, while a worker handles a barrel. Below, two miners open a treasure chest and uncover a chain in front of a stone king carved between two guards. The centre room is a blue cavern with a stream, bells and a hanging fish, where three miners sort finds. The last is a museum where two people study a stone sarcophagus before a mural. Gold seams and rail lines tie the rooms together.
