Cast plaques in light alloys like silumin were practical for large wall emblems, which is why many of them survive. This one suits a collection of Soviet memorabilia and Cold War history, and its bold relief also works well as wall decor in industrial or historical-style rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Soviet Vintage Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67670552576149,"sku":"v1|407023565252|0","price":300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0808\/0500\/3413\/files\/s-l1600_b69bfe88-77ae-4667-b261-5c4f3aa7f10f.jpg?v=1791453490","url":"https:\/\/sovietvintagestore.com\/products\/ussr-coat-of-arms-wall-plaque-cast-aluminum-alloy-state-emblem","provider":"Soviet Vintage Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
