Description

A moveable cache to celebrate the moving Olympic flame

The rings were composed of five interlocking rings, coloured blue, yellow, black, green, and red on a white field, known as the "Olympic rings". The symbol was originally designed in 1912 by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, co-founder of the modern Olympic Games.

As the Olympic flame gets closer to its destination for the 2016 Rio Olympics, we are releasing this moveable as a celebration to the games.
