Caption: Tuyere Arch Inset
Additional Description: Arched openings on all four sides of the structure allow access to the hearth, and provide a recess for the tuyeres (nozzles that deliver blast air to the bosh). Wood forms were built inside the openings and bricks were set on top of the forms. Once the mortar set, the forms were removed.
