Catalog No. 89
Pottery or stoneware (Siegburg style), relief, 1.5L, pewter lid.
The double-headed eagle shown in the arms details below (left side) was the heraldic symbol of the Holy Roman Empire, which existed in central Europe from 962 until 1806. The two heads, first seen in HRE heraldry circa 1250, represent church and state. The other depicted arms (right side), featuring rampant lions, in all likelihood belonged to a member of the House of Habsburg, one of the most important royal families in Europe and the source of Holy Roman Emperors from 1438 through 1740.
