The design, conceived by heraldist Bernhard Karl von Koehne, offers a striking visual representation of the city's identity and its place within the Russian Empire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch2\u003eThe Shield: A Symbol of Industry\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe central element is a silver (argent) shield. At its heart, a black (sable) smelting furnace, detailed with scarlet (gules) seams and flame, boldly proclaims Yekaterinburg's industrial heritage. This furnace symbolizes the city's key role in mining and metallurgy, core industries of the Ural region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eAt the base of the shield, two tiers of black elements, designed as golden bells, further solidify the industrial and potentially mining ties to the region. These bells are placed in two neat rows at the base, to show their importance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch2\u003eRegional Affiliation and Municipal Status\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eIn the upper left, the canton, the arms of the Perm Governorate are incorporated. This displays a bear holding a Bible, which signifies the administrative region to which Yekaterinburg belonged. The inclusion of the bear and Bible denotes the city's connection to its wider regional context.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eBehind the shield, two crossed golden picks are situated, bound by a prominent red Alexander ribbon. The picks further reinforce the city's industrial roots, while the ribbon and a silver mural\/tower crown with three teeth, topping the shield, emphasize Yekaterinburg’s municipal status and significance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch2\u003eA Monument to the Past\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe design, a product of mid-19th-century heraldic trends, perfectly captures the spirit of the era. The detailed furnace, the regional affiliation, and the elements of municipal prominence come together to create a powerful statement about Yekaterinburg's identity as an industrial powerhouse within the Russian Empire. This shot glass preserves this unfulfilled heraldic vision.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"1.5oz","offer_id":51319258251544,"sku":"16268520006939048278","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/coat-of-arms-of-yekaterinburg-1862-russia-coat-of-arms-shot-glass-15oz-15oz-position1.webp?v=1765581028","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/coat-of-arms-of-yekaterinburg-1862-russia-coat-of-arms-shot-glass-1-5oz","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
