Source Description
In the center of the dish is a crowned, double-headed eagle in olive against a turquoise background enriched with loose filigree scrolls. Arched fields enclose three views of famous Moscow landmarks painted en grisaille alternating with others containing open and closed blossoms on cream-colored grounds. The landmarks include the Tsar Cannon commissioned in 1586 by Tsar Fedor Ivanovich; the 204-ton Tsar Bell founded in 1733-1735; the Victory Arch erected in 1826, and a monument by Viktor Petrovich Martos (1754-1835) to Dmitry Pozharsky and Kizma Minin, the Russian leaders who expelled the Polish-Lithuanian forces from Moscow in 1612. Around the dish's rim, scrolls are set with cabochon amethyst and citrine stones.
