HOST TO THE PREMIER EUROPEAN CONTEMPORARY ART EXHIBITION DOCUMENTA EVERY FIVE YEARS, KASSEL SITS NEAR THE GEOGRAPHIC CENTER OF GERMANY. SPANNING THE FULDA RIVER, KASSEL IS THE LARGEST CITY IN HESSE. IT IS DOTTED WITH SCULPTURES FROM BEUYS, OLDENBURG, RUCKER TO NAME A FEW THANKS TO DOCUMENTA. THIS KANALDECKEL IS DEDICATED TO THE EXHIBITION THAT HAS BROUGHT SUCH NOTORIETY TO THE CITY OF 200,000 SINCE 1955. THE CITY NAME SPANS THE COAT OF ARMS WITH ITS 13 CLOVERS WITH AN ARCED GRAPHIC REPRESENTING THE FULDA. ALL TEXT IS ARIAL, ODDLY, INCLUDING THE ADDED “MUSEUM OF 100 DAYS” IN DEUTSCH, NATÜRLICH.
The perfect gift for housewarmings, and anniversaries each illustration is initially hand-drawn for precision and then permanently etched into cork. The trivets are .375" thick and 7.25" in diameter with rounded edges. The engraving method has incredible detail and tactility. Fabricated from sustainable Portuguese cork. Designed and packaged in Philadelphia, PA USA.
Cork is a natural material, thus rare aberrations within the etching can occur.
As each one is made to order please allow three business days for delivery.
