Only One Available. Lohengrin is a character in German Arthurian literature. The son of Parzival (Percival), he is a knight of the Holy Grail sent in a boat pulled by swans to rescue a maiden who can never ask his identity. His story, which first appears in Wolfram von Eschenbach's Parzival, is a version of the Knight of the Swan legend known from a variety of medieval sources. Wolfram's story was expanded in two later romances. Richard Wagner's opera Lohengrin of 1848 is based upon the legend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is an outstanding ceramic wall plaque depicting the character Lohengrin holding the maiden he is associated with in his stories. The plaque measures 7 ¼ x 12 ⅜” and is signed \u003cstrong\u003eFROCK\u003c\/strong\u003e in the bottom right corner. At the top left reads:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWALKÜRE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIII AUFZ.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe characters are in white while the rest of the plaque is painted green. We found another example with lots of different colors, showing the bottom left being a fire that Lohengrin is putting out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe back of the plaque is marked with a \u003cstrong\u003e12 \u003c\/strong\u003eand then \u003cstrong\u003e2737\u003c\/strong\u003e. There is what looks to be a paperclip jury-rigged so that it could be hung, but something better could be attached. Thankfully there is no chipping or missing material to be seen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReady to display.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Original Items","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45205849604165,"sku":"ONAC25SD0680","price":295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/files\/ONAC25SD0680__01.jpg?v=1782314310","url":"https:\/\/www.ima-usa.com\/products\/original-imperial-german-pre-wwi-lohengrin-ceramic-wall-plaque-by-frock-excellent","provider":"International Military Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
