Overview
This mid-century decorative wall plaque features the official seal of New York City, hand-carved in West Germany during the post-World War II period, likely for export to the U.S. The seal depicts a Native American and a colonial settler flanking a shield, which features a windmill and beavers symbolizing Dutch heritage and the city’s mercantile roots. Above, an American eagle rests on a globe, reinforcing the union.
