The relief molded design on the front is copying the "Lion relief on the College Building" of a rampant lion facing left with three wheat sheaves.. The College Building is a national historic site which is part of the University of Saskatchewan. See Wikipedia for more information on this.

Three ink stamps are on the back. In the central recessed area - it reads "MADE FROM SASKATCHEWAN CLAY". Below that "At the UNIVERSITY". The top has faded a bit but says "Compliments of Saskatoon Board of Trade". Brown majolica glaze - measures roughly 3 1/4" x 2 1/2" - x 3/8" thick. This was designed as a paperweight and was a giveaway. These were made between 1921 -1951. See the website of the U. of Saskatchewan (on campus news) for a bit more info! Very interesting item and in very nice condition. (#T-1867)
