Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Cairo
Manhole Cover Cork Trivet-Cairo
One of the most populous cities in the world, Cairo is the capital of Egypt. This cover is found in many forms throughout the vast, dense and somewhat polluted metropolis. The central symbol of the Crescent Moon and Three Stars refers to the Kingdom or Republic of Egypt. Radially oriented squares compose the majority of the cover with Arabic lettering and the words in English defining use. An added ankh occupies a signature spot referencing Egypt’s Pharaonic era.
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.
