Royal Copenhagen Zodiac Male Libra - New Figurine In Box For Sale
ROYAL COPENHAGEN Zodiac Figurine LIBRA LIBRA September 22 - October 22 ** (The Scales)ROYAL COPENHAGEN figurine of LIBRA from the ZODIAC series; approximately 27 cm (about 10 ½ inches) tall by 16 cm (about 6 ¼ inches) wide. Libra is the Seventh sign of the Zodiac. It is sometimes referred to as the Balance. The Sun enters Libra around the time of year when day and night are of equal length. Thus, this is when the Earth and the Sun are in balance...a time such balance is also illustrated by the fact that when the Sun reaches this point, Spring and Summer have passed and the harvesters are weighing and balancing the fruits of their labors. Now, the beginning of Autumn heralds the Harvest Season. The origin of the word Libra derives from the Latin meaning "balances" or "scales." Often, a statue of the Goddess of Justice holding the scales or balances is erected over the domes of modern court houses. In ancient times, this constellation was associated with the judgment of the living and the dead. Libra is the only inanimate Sign of the Zodiac, the other eleven representing either human or animal forms. Those born under this Sign are natural arbitrators and diplomats, constantly seeking balance and harmony. In short, they are sociable, cheerful and charming souls. Perhaps the greatest fault of this Sign is indecision. Libra individuals find it difficult to make up their minds and strongly dislike taking sides. This MALE ZODIAC series of figurines were sculpted by Pia Langelund, who has created other bisque figurines for Royal Copenhagen, including the stunning PERFECTIO series of male and female nudes. Pia Langelund took her inspiration for this series from the series of female Zodiac sculptures created by Christel Marott in the mid-1980s and now produced by Royal Copenhagen -- their most popular and best selling series of figurines in many years. Following in Christel Marott's footsteps, Pia Langelund has captured the special characteristics of the astrological signs of the Zodiac, but this time using the male form -- each one graceful and strong, combining innocence and decadence. Like the female versions created by Christel Marott, these male sculptures have a beautiful, clear and almost economical style.The choice of classical subject and pose, rendered inbisque porcelain (without either glaze or painted decoration), creates the illusion that each sculptureis both emerging from, and resting on, a block of white marble. ** The dates of each sign vary slightly from year to year. Born in 1960, Pia Langelund graduated from the Kolding College of Danish Art and Design in 1990 after studying ceramic design for 4 years. Royal Copenhagen became aware of her great talent as a sculptor in bronze, earthenware, iron and granite, and she was taken on by the porcelain factory in 1991. She has been responsible for many beautiful creations since then, including a series of Primates, and a magnificent large lion cub, alsoproduced in either black or white bisque porcelain. For Pia Langelund the driving force is the sculptural challenge itself, and one of the recurring themes in her work is the strength and movement of the body in both animals and humans. Beautifully detailed in the finest Royal Copenhagen tradition.Sensual rather than erotic, both modern and classic, this would be an elegant addition to almost any décor. Other figurines in this series are available in My store, including female versions in both white and black bisque porcelain, from original designs by Christel Marott.EXCELLENT CONDITION (no chips, cracks, or repairs), and FIRST QUALITY(no scratch through the trademark).
