The Iron Man statue is a 24 centimetres (9.4 in) 10 kilograms (22 lb) sculpture depicting what could be the Buddhist deity Vaiśravaṇa that may be made from a rare ataxite class nickel-rich iron meteorite. It is claimed to be Tibetan and to have been carved circa 1000 CE from a meteorite that fell to Earth approximately 15000 years ago although no evidence for this claim has been provided.
