The Sablon Square (a place much frequented by antiques lovers) is surrounded by 48 statuettes representing the various Brussels trades and corporations. This one represents a coppersmith with a cauldron and a jug. Has it ever occurred to you that a great many of these trades have given rise to surnames (Fowler, Cooper, Thatcher, Archer, Baker, Hunter, Smith, ...)?
