Eutin stove Eutin stove

This so-called Eutin stove consists of white glazed tiles and yellow-brown and beige-ocher ornamental tiles with motifs of mythological legends from Greek antiquity. An ancient representation of a warrior's departure scene was chosen as the center image. This popular theme is a symbol of glorious death, or memento mori. The scorpion, a symbol of martial power, is an attribute of the heroes Hector and Achilles, as can be seen in the departures of both heroes here. In general, the scorpion is a symbol of transience and resurrection, but also of mischief, death, and change.
