Abstract
- This beer stein features a picture of Prince Carl of Hesse surrounded by a laurel wreath. Above him is a red and white lion wielding a sword with a crown on its head. Below his portrait are two red and white shields, the color of the flags of Hesse and Prussia, and a pile of items, including an army helmet, field pack and musical instruments. To the side of this pile is a yellow marker that has the number "118" on it in red. On either side of the prince are flags, as well as two soldiers. The soldier on the right is standing and waving. Behind him is a group of four soldiers surrounding a campfire. The soldier to the left of the prince is kneeling, aiming his rifle at an unknown enemy. Behind him is a scene of five soldiers on a battlefield. German text is featured below each picture, as well as a list of names to the side of each picture, presumably of those in the 118th regiment. Above the main painting on the stein is a rounded green leaf motif covered in red and white stripes. The upper rim, and the smaller rim below it bear two phrases in German that honor Prince Carl and the regiment. The bottom of the stein has the same rounded green leaf and ribbon motif, underneath which is text naming the Regiment, "no. 118," its leader, "Prinz Carl," and location, "Worms," as well as the years, "1905-1907." The pewter lid features a seated soldier raising a beer stein. The thumb lever has a lion with a crown on its head. The inside of the bottom of the stein has raised white figures of a man and a woman carved into it
