What were the parts and metals of the statue in Nebuchadnezzar's dream?
The statue had a head of pure gold, chest of silver, belly area of brass, legs of iron, and feet made of a mixture of iron and clay. It was top-heavy, with the heaviest metal at the top and the lowest at the bottom.
Les explains that Nebuchadnezzar’s image is pictured as a human torso: the head was pure gold, the chest was silver, the belly area was brass, the legs were iron, and the feet were a mixture of iron and clay. He points out that the specific gravity or density is heaviest at the top—gold has the highest specific gravity of these elements, while the iron and clay at the bottom have the lowest—so the image is top-heavy and has no stability.
