Sather Gate Watercolor Print

Sather Gate is a prominent landmark separating Sproul Plaza from the bridge over Strawberry Creek, leading to the center of the University of California, Berkeley campus. The gate was donated by Jane K. Sather, a benefactor of the university, in memory of her late husband Peder Sather, a trustee of the College of California, which would later become the University of California. Designed by John Galen Howard, Sather Gate was completed in 1910. Atop the gate are eight panels of bas-relief figures representing the disciplines of agriculture, architecture, art, and electricity which were sculpted by Professor Earl Cummins. Originally, the gate served as the terminus of Telegraph Avenue, and marked the University's south entrance. The circle in front of the gate served as a turning point for the trolleys coming from Oakland. The University later expanded further south of Strawberry Creek, and the gate is now well separated from Berkeley's city streets by Sproul Plaza.This beautiful Sather Gate Watercolor Print artfully represents the rich history of Sather Gate. Bid now to win this amazing pice of Cal artwork and display it proudly in your home or office. Don't delay, bid today!

Axe Caper Scarf

Follow the Axe on its wild run through the streets of San Francisco, from the preliminary pinch at the Stanford baseball game to the foiled filch at a Berkeley fraternity, on this exclusively designed scarf. A poem of the caper is illustrated with fanciful "period" illustrations of the major moments: the baseball game, Muller's butcher shop, the Chinatown hardware store, the ferry crossing, the bonfire rally, and the night raid by disguised Stanfordites. 35" x 35", hand-rolled hem, light blue and white background with Cal blue border and illustrations in medium cobalt blue, brown, Cal yellow and (gasp!) Stanford Axe red.

Set of Six (6) Cal Coasters

Make sure you have a place to rest your glass when the Bears game comes on the big screen! Add the finishing touch to any party or show your everyday spirit with a set of SIX (6) navy blue and gold Cal script beverage coasters
