Is the Rugby World Cup made from solid gold?

Siskin

The Webb Ellis Cup was crafted on Garrard's workshop in 1906, a Victorian version of a cup fashioned in 1740 by the gold and silversmith Paul de Lamerie (1688-1751), whose parents, Huguenots, had fled to London and set up a shop in Soho. The Cup is silver gilded in gold, 38 centimetres tall with two cast scroll handles. On one there perches the head of a satyr, on the other the head of a nymph, the nymph, beautiful spirit of nature, forever safe from the randy aspirations of the goat-man. The terminals are a bearded mask, a lion mask and a vine. http://www.wesclark.com/rrr/webb_ellis_cup.html Jan 03 04, 6:25 PM
