Ninety eight percent pure wrought iron. it has avoided corrosion from the rains, winds and temperature fluctuations over the last 1600 years through the accidental formation of a "passive protective film."
This film is a 1/20th of a millimeter thick layer of "misawite,"on the pillar. Misawite is a compound of iron, oxygen and hydrogen which does not rust.
