A weathered stone monument in Sallaumines, France, stands against an overcast sky

A weathered stone monument in Sallaumines, France, stands against an overcast sky. The central figure is a dark grey stone statue of a muscular man, possibly representing a miner, exhibiting green and yellow lichen growth on his torso. He is depicted in a crouching posture, with his right arm bent, hand resting on his forehead, and possesses a prominent mustache. His expression appears strained. This figure is situated on a rough, sculpted rocky base, which is mounted on a smooth, multi-tiered stone pedestal. The words "COUP DE GRISOU" are inscribed in red paint on the front of the rocky base. Above the monument, two flags are visible on poles: a French tricolor flag (blue, white, red) on the left, and a white flag with a red '1' and partial text "ville d'éch..." on the right.
