One of the most valuable protocol gifts produced under the Halama brand is the crystal statuette of a lion holding the Senate emblem. The lion is the symbol of Czech statehood, two lions are located within the Senate emblem. The statuette’s design dates back to 1946. After the nationalization in 1948, the lion was “asleep” until 1990 when it “awoke” and after several years of minor modifications it became the most prestigious award for prominent visitors of the President of the Senate
The first crystal lion statuette was awarded to the then President of the Republic, Mr. Václav Klaus.
