Origin[]
Renee Rele (1932 - ) is a German sculptor famous for goldsmithing and large scale metal sculptures. For her artwork she learned how to handle all sorts of metal including steel, copper and gold. A draw plate is a die consisting of a hardened steel plate with one or more holes through which wire is drawn to make it thinner. Rele would use this tool to weave lines of gold into her artwork to add that hint of wealth into her pieces to enhance ironic imagery.
Effects[]
Direct contact to skin turns victims golden; tapping the statue with the plate will cause it to crumble into bars (12in x 5in x 5in). If neutralized while in statue form the victim will return to normal, but death if undone during the gold bar phase.
Collection[]
