07PLACE REPRESENTED: Gibraltar

ITEM: Wall Ornament

NOTES: Gibraltar … yet another British Territory (and city) nowhere near Britain. Gibraltar is located at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula (the south of Spain). Featured is the coat of arms, the Rock of Gibraltar, the Barbary macaque monkey and I assume, the National flower of Gibraltar which is the Candytuft. it doesn’t look like a Candytuft though it looks more like a Gibraltar Range Waratah which comes from Australia. I wonder if the designer used haphazard googling? Then again, what do I know about floriculture. By the way I think Albert Hammond (Gibraltar’s great musical export) should be on the plate.
