The layout is pared back, so the sign is the only thing the eye settles on. The artwork carries the identifier NH748AA-IN, which fixes it in a catalogue of India-themed designs and gives the piece its name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Symbolism\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA road sign is the everyday language of travel. It tells drivers and walkers where a route leads and what lies ahead, so it works as a small promise of the journey. India has one of the largest road networks in the world, and its signs carry that scale into ordinary life, from city streets to highways crossing the countryside. Choosing a sign as the motif ties the design to movement, direction and the places people pass through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTurning the Sign in Hand\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA mug is turned in the hand, so the sign moves across your fingers as you rotate it, and it is read in passing rather than all at once. The design also changes with temperature: it stays faint while the mug is cold and comes into view as hot coffee or tea is poured in. The sign appears gradually, much as a road sign does when you round a bend. It suits a friend who always knows the way, or one who is forever heading somewhere new.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Go Mug Yourself","offers":[{"title":"11oz","offer_id":53178843922712,"sku":"GMY-MUG-NHND-11OZ-70","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/5204\/4312\/files\/nh748aa-in-india-road-sign-color-changing-mug-11oz-GMY-MUG-NHND-11OZ-70-front.webp?v=1794158143","url":"https:\/\/gomugyourself.com\/products\/nh748aa-in-india-road-sign-color-changing-mug-11oz","provider":"Go Mug Yourself","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
