Item description
A sweet ceramic figurine from the 'Signs of the Zodiac' collection, made in the early 20th century from Capodimonte ceramic painted in gold. Capodimonte is a type of Italian porcelain first developed in the 18th century. It is known for its bright colours, intricate details and striking designs with flowers, animals or mythical figures. Its production requires incredible craftsmanship, as each piece must be hand-painted to create unique designs. This is why Capodimonte pieces are highly sought-after and valuable due to their rarity. Over the years, they have become a valuable part of many collections and are considered an important piece of Italian cultural history. The base is spherical in shape, with a simply splendid gold surround. At the base of the feet is the sign of the zodiac represented by this statue: Leo. One leg is slightly forward of the other, entirely wrapped in a golden robe. The Leo zodiac sign is often represented with a bag, symbolising the lion's strength and courage. In astrology, Leo is ruled by the sun and its element is fire, which makes it self-confident, determined and ambitious. The bag can represent the Leo's leadership qualities and his ability to take charge. It also indicates that those born under this sign are ambitious and passionate about their goals, but also protective of those they love. The statue is splendid and is suitable for collectors.
