The engraving on this knife was inspired by the Dragon Bridge, built in 1900 and 1901, across the Ljubljanica river in Slovenia, The Dragon Bridge is one of Ljubljana's most typical examples of Art Nouveau architecture. The Art Nouveau appearance of the Dragon Bridge is due to the Dalmatian architect Jurij Zaninović, who studied under Professor Otto Wagner. He designed the Bridge's decorative concrete covering, balustrades and sheet-copper dragon statues, which became a symbol of Ljubljana |
