MAPPA MUNDI GLASSES CASE

DESIGNER'S NOTES

A fabric covered hard case for glasses with a design featuring an antique map of the world.

A Mappa Mundi is a medieval European map of the world that combines geographical, historical, and theological elements, often illustrating the known world as a circular diagram centred on Jerusalem.

These maps, unlike the one here, were not intended for navigation but to convey a worldview shaped by Christian beliefs, blending real and mythical locations with biblical events. The most famous example is the Hereford Mappa Mundi, created around 1300, which depicts continents, cities, and creatures alongside religious iconography.
