The deeply modeled crest combines a crowned helm, scrolling mantling, and shield above a ribbon bearing the city name, all framed by a softly shaped, molded rim.

The gently aged silver-gray surface gives the relief beautiful definition without appearing overly polished. At approximately nine inches across, it is an easy piece to incorporate into a library, stair hall, study, or English Country gallery wall—particularly effective mixed with old engravings, small landscapes, brass, and other European metalwork.
