The tomcat and monkey are German symbols for a hangover and excessive drinking, respectively. The §11 between the two in the central image makes reference to the Bier-Comment (beer code) of Heidelberg University, which begins with paragraph 11. Paragraphs 1 through 10 are left blank and are generally presumed to be the Biblical ten commandments. Paragraph 11 of the Heidelberg code reads: Es wird fortgesoffen, which is often (if loosely) translated as Keep on drinking.
Price Range: $300-$400
