A large embossed brass Imperial coat of arms. The eagles on the crown mark this as Second Empire. These were commonly mounted above or next to the doors of government buildings, including military and government offices, police stations and town halls. There is minor damage to this one, including a small hole (about 1/2") at the edge of one wings, and some cracks and two smaller holes near the rim (see the photos below). The damage does not affect the overall appearance, and it remains an impressive display item.

Dimensions: 17" high x 13.5" wide
