This is a monumental, 3.0-liter capacity antique German stoneware beer stein designed and molded in a detailed historicist Siegburg relief style. The body is divided into three distinct narrative panels. The top circular medallion features a detailed architectural layout of King Solomon's Temple. The middle diamond panel portrays Justicia (Lady Justice) holding a balanced scale and sword, flanked by the incised artist initials "•PD•". The lower oval segment depicts the biblical narrative of the Judgment of Solomon. The upper rim includes an incised "3L" volume stamp. The piece is crowned with an ornately decorated, domed pewter lid with a figural satyr thumb lift. The lid is custom hand-engraved along the rim as a celebratory gift from a Berlin choral society
