Quote:In all coloured depictions(and there is a number of them-i know of at least three off the top of my head) they are shown white-while iron in the same paintings is shown blue-grey.
An immediate response to that is that the white could indicate tinned metal while the blue-grey is untreated iron. Off course the colours could mean a lot of things -- all I'm saying that different colours don't rule out iron.
