Game of Thrones is an epic fantasy television series created by David Benioff and D.B. Weiss for HBO, based on George R.R. Martin's series of novels "A Song of Ice and Fire." The show aired from 2011 to 2019 and became one of the most popular and critically acclaimed television series of all time.

Westeros is the fictional continent where much of the series takes place. It is home to the Seven Kingdoms, ruled from the Iron Throne in King's Landing. The map of Westeros appears in the opening credits of each episode and is a central element in understanding the complex geography and politics of the series.

Key regions of Westeros featured on the map include:

• The North: Ruled by House Stark from Winterfell

• The Vale: Ruled by House Arryn from the Eyrie

• The Riverlands: Traditionally ruled by House Tully from Riverrun

• The Westerlands: Ruled by House Lannister from Casterly Rock

• The Reach: Ruled by House Tyrell from Highgarden

• The Stormlands: Ruled by House Baratheon from Storm's End

• Dorne: Ruled by House Martell from Sunspear

This ornament captures the iconic map that helped viewers navigate the complex world of the series, making it a meaningful piece for fans of the show.

Decoupage is a decorative art technique where paper cutouts are glued to an object and then coated with several layers of varnish. The word comes from the French "découper," meaning "to cut out." This centuries-old craft has been used to decorate furniture, boxes, and now, Christmas ornaments.

In the case of this Game of Thrones ornament, the decoupage process involves:

1. Starting with a clear glass ball as the base

2. Carefully applying the detailed map of Westeros to the surface

3. Adding multiple layers of specialized varnish or lacquer to protect the design

4. Each layer must dry completely before the next is applied

This technique creates a dimensional effect and helps preserve the artwork, making it more durable for holiday display year after year. The decoupage method allows for intricate details of the map to be clearly visible, showcasing the complex geography of the Seven Kingdoms.

Handling: Glass decoupage ornaments require gentle handling. Always hold the ornament by its top or hanging cap, never by the glass body itself, to avoid fingerprints and pressure on the decoupage.

Cleaning: If dust accumulates, use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to gently wipe the surface. Never use liquid cleaners, as they may damage the decoupage finish or cause the design to peel.

Display: Hang the ornament on a sturdy tree branch away from high-traffic areas where it might be bumped. Keep away from direct heat sources like lights or candles, which can damage both the decoupage and the glass.

Storage: When the holiday season is over, wrap the ornament in acid-free tissue paper and store in a padded container. For additional protection, you may want to purchase an ornament storage box with individual compartments. Store in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures.

Collector Value: Licensed Game of Thrones merchandise has become increasingly collectible since the show's conclusion. As official merchandise becomes scarce, items like this ornament often appreciate in value.

Display Options: While designed as a Christmas tree ornament, many collectors display these pieces year-round using ornament stands or in curio cabinets alongside other Game of Thrones memorabilia.

Preservation: To maintain collector value, keep the original hang tag and try to limit exposure to sunlight, which can fade the intricate map details over time.

Authenticity: This ornament's official licensing ensures it accurately represents the world of Westeros as depicted in the HBO series, making it a valuable addition for serious collectors of Game of Thrones memorabilia.
