~ Der heimkehrender Krieger ~
What a beautiful day when the soldier comes home for good to civilization. This relief, Jugendstil (youth style = modern art) stein (without lid) is marked with the Thewalt logo and "Musterschutz 353" (patented 353), ca. 1900.
Der heimkehrender Krieger. O schöner Tag wenn endlich der Soldat ins Leben heimkehrt in die Menschlichkeit.	The warrior's homecoming. O beautiful day when finally the soldier comes home to life in humanity.
