2003 King Limitat Beer Stein

This edition comes in two versions full-color and rustic colors. This stein is the fourth edition in the series. This valuable collectible is a replica of an original stein taken from the archives of King, Germany and intricately hand sculpted by Peter Dümler around the year of 1870. It prominently features the bust of the God of War of Grecian antiquity. Scenes of the most significant tale of Greek mythology, The Trojan War (around 1250 B.C.) as told by Homer is his Iliad, are portrayed on the collar as well as on the helmet. Paris, the Prince of Troy kidnapped Helen, wife of Menelaos, and brought her to Troy, where his father Priamos was King. Here they were not only safe behind the mighty walls of Troy from the attacks of the unified Greek forces, but were protected by Cupid the God of Love as well. These are the scenes featured on the helmet. On the lowest part of the helmet is Odysseus portrayed with a ram. It was his cunning ruse employing the Trojan Horse that ended the war after a 10 year battle. The collar features the Greek forces led by Agamemnon, Achilles and Odysseus clashing with the Trojan forces led by Hector and Aeneas. The genuine pewter lid ornately decorated in detailed relief. The pewter thumbrest is formed in the image of Hermes, the messenger of Zeus. An original of this model artwork is on display in the British Museum in London.
