ROYAL COPENHAGEN Zodiac Figurine TAURUS
April 20 - May 20 ** (The Bull) ROYAL COPENHAGEN figurine of TAURUS (the bull) from their MALE ZODIAC series, based on sculptures created by Pia Langelund to capture the special characteristics of the astrological signs of the Zodiac.Each sculpture reflects Pia Langelund\'s sensual style, combining strength and grace. These sculptures have a beautiful, clear and almost economical style that is underlined by the bisque porcelain without either glaze or painted decoration. Other figurines in this series are available in My store.** The dates of each sign vary slightly from year to year.Taurus is the Second Sign of the Zodiac, represented by the Bull which is prized for strength and stamina. The Egyptian Horus was the Bull of Heaven and a white bull was sacrificed in Babylonia at the time of the New Year to placate Ramman, the God of Thunder and Lightning. Taurus peacefully tends and nurtures Spring\'s garden, bringing forth harmony from chaos. Like the Bull, Taurus does not move unless there is something worth moving for. Taurus likes to keep a firm hand on possessions and nothing makes this Sign happier than secure material prosperity. Taurus craves the good things in life. Dominated by the romantic Planet of Venus, Taurus is deeply loving with strong values, but can be slow to make decisions. Earthbound with worldly goals and in tune with nature, Taurus is the most reliable and faithful Sign of the Zodiac.Beautifully detailed in the finest Royal Copenhagen tradition. The figurine\'s individual parts are molded and assembled by hand before firing; a process that demands patience and precision. The results speak for themselves. These exquisite figurines capture the special characteristics of the twelve astrological signs; each one enigmatic and magical in its own way.Sensual rather than erotic, both modern and classic, this would be an elegant addition to almost any décor.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 as early as her leaving college. She was taken on by the porcelain factory in 1991 and was responsible for many beautiful creations over the next decade. 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.This figurine is approximately 22.5 cm tall(almost 9 inches) by 19 cm long (about 7 ½ inches).NOW DISCONTINUED!
