AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

MICHELIN - special decoration

Bibendum, the name of the Michelin mascot, comes from the Latin phrase 'Nunc est Bibendum,' which means 'Now is the time to drink,' symbolizing how Michelin tires can 'absorb' road obstacles.

Iconic figure or sculpture in cast iron.

Piggy bank

A true classic

The country of origin of the Michelin brand is France, founded in Clermont-Ferrand in 1889 by the brothers André and Édouard Michelin; although their cast iron products (such as the Bibendum figure) are sometimes made in other places like the United Kingdom, the brand and its origin are French.

The 'cast iron Michelin' is a visual metaphor created in the late 19th century to promote the resistance and strength of Michelin tires, using a humanoid character made of stacked tires.
