The Sermon On the Mount
Egino Weinert
9 x 7 inch bronze plaque

The wizard bought this and says he's going to mount it somewhere
on the academy campus where only the bravest explorers will find it.

Egino Weinert lost his right hand to the Nazis
when he was a young man,
so he decided to become a sculptor.
