An anvil is a metal workers tool, typically identified with the blacksmithing trade. It is essentially a solid piece of cast metal shaped somewhat like a rectangular box with a rounded hornlike protrusion at one of the narrow ends. A blacksmith (or other metalworker) uses the various edges of the anvil's shape to bend and form the piece of metal he is hammering.
On a similar note the term wrought iron and cast iron stem from this form of metal working. A cast iron object is formed by pouring (casting) molten metal into a prefabricated mold. Wrought iron object have been worked and hammered into shape using the hammer and anvil.

It's a large heavy metal object used as a work surface for working with metal in blacksmithing. Something to set metal on and hit against when hammering.
