Description
Great Seal of the Confederacy Mounted in a Spectacular Thermoplastic Case. The Great Seal of the Confederate States of America was designed shortly before the end of the war and was never used in an official capacity. The seal measures about 3.5" in diameter and features George Washington on horseback in the same pose as that found on the statue of him in Richmond, Virginia. Along the edge of the seal the words "The Confederate States of America: 22 February 1862" and the national motto, Deo Vindice ("Under God, Our Vindicator") appear. The date on the seal represents Jefferson Davis's inauguration after the first and only Confederate general election, and is also Washington's birthday.This copy, in fine condition, has been appropriately mounted into a beautiful (and rare) Washington Monument Union case (Krainik 4). The large case measures 6" x 5" and, other than having slightly loose hinges, it is in fine condition. This case was modified at some point to accommodate the seal. Still, it makes a fitting venue for the seal.
