About
The framing of the alliance coat of arms by the teardrop decoration, the attachment of the undressed mermaid and the use of heart shapes in the decoration suggest that it was originally made as a wedding gift. The coat of arms on the lid shows the only unicorn in our exhibition, but the so-called "tears" could also associate the unicorns caught in the water in The Last Unicorn.
