This miniature stein is a great collectible piece, use it for display or as an actual shot glass. A three-panel motif displays scenes from the Nibelungen Lied, an ancient Germanic warrior saga, written anonymously in 1200 A.D. The left panel portrays the hero Siegfried's battle with a dragon. In the center of the stein, Siegfried is ambushed and slain by Hagen. The right panel shows Hagen sinking Siegfried's treasures in the River Rhein. A must have for any medieval enthusiast and also make a great, unique gift for any occasion.
