It is a clean, graphic shape with no ornament around it, so the eye goes straight to the direction it indicates. The layout is simple and utilitarian, following the conventions of standard road signage, and the identifying code RUS 017 sits within that same functional framework. Nothing is decorative for its own sake, which is exactly what gives the piece its authority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRoad signs exist to tell a traveller where to go, and this one speaks to Ireland's regional geography and the history of its roads. The RUS 017 code is the sign's identity, the kind of detail that marks a sign as belonging to a particular country and era of travel. A left-pointing arrow is a small instruction with a large purpose: a moment of choice at a junction, made with confidence and without fuss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTurning It in the Hand\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA mug is turned as you drink, so the arrow reveals itself in stages as the cup moves through your hands. The handle sits to one side, which makes the left-pointing direction a quiet reference to the way the cup is held. It is a good conversation starter for anyone who has ever followed a signpost through the countryside, and a warm, slightly cheeky nod to the traveller who always needs to know which way to go.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"11oz","offer_id":53233390649624,"sku":"GMY-MUG-IERD-11OZ-34","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15oz","offer_id":53233390682392,"sku":"GMY-MUG-IERD-15OZ-3","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/ie-road-sign-rus-017-old-left-ireland-road-sign-black-coffee-mug-GMY-MUG-IERD-11OZ-34-front.webp?v=1794289241","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/ie-road-sign-rus-017-old-left-ireland-road-sign-black-coffee-mug","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
