“The Holy City’s” manhole features the coat of arms of Köln. Dating from 1315, the coat of arms features three crowns from the three Magi whose relics are in the extraordinary Cathedral that includes Gerhard Richter stained glass. A double-headed Sable Eagle clutches a sword and a scepter. Below the crowns sits 11 ermine tails symbolizing the many virgins of St. Ursula, the Patron saint of the Köln. Part of the Deutschland Über Alles coaster set.
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.
