The obscure Dwarf smith Skalt Helfenhammer was said to have created the first “replacement nose” after an incident with black powder and a rogue candle. Whilst he chose gold, the noblest of metals, most today do not have the luxury of such a material. Wood, iron, or ceramics form the basis of most, though the term “gilded nose” lives on. The most basic are little more than a spout, slotted into the nasal cavity; whereas the finest are almost indistinguishable from the real thing.[1a]
