"The sculpture consists of a rectangular block of wax bearing an impression in negative relief of the crystalline form of a miner's lamp. This 'image' represents a combination of archaic signs and naturally occuring forms. Bowl, flame, pentagram, sun disc and crystal converged into a single shape, evoking a multiplicity of interpenetrating levels of meaning and potential associations. The title of the piece is the name of a homeopathic salve which Beuys often used himself."
