As agricultural production and mineral extraction in Brazil were dependent on iron artefacts and most of those involved in the profession were enslaved Africans and Afrodescendants, a domestic metallurgy with an African influence emerged. The presence of ironworker stalls became common in mining towns and villages, as well as on the plantations. These stalls produced and repaired tools and featured items such as anvils, mallets, hammers, tongs, lathes, chisels, bellows and ovens (Guimarães et al., 2015, pp. 402-403). Ironworkers' stalls and ovens were also present in quilombos, as will be discussed later in this chapter.
