Product Overview
A keepsake box for Capricorn, the Sea-Goat, whose season runs through Christmas and New Year, with enamelled decoration on a wooden body. At 10 x 10 x 6cm it holds rings, earrings, a few tumbled stones or the odd ticket stub, and it takes up little more room on a dressing table than a coaster. Each box is handmade in India, so the enamel work varies slightly from piece to piece.
The lid shows a goat's head in gold line on an ivory enamel disc, ringed by small constellation drawings and set into a navy enamel ground flecked with gold. The lid is hinged and closes with a small metal clasp at the front.
The Story Behind the Design
The Sea-Goat, half goat and half fish, goes back to Babylonian star lore. The Tropic of Capricorn takes its name from the sign because, in antiquity, the Sun stood in Capricorn at the December solstice. Capricorn runs from roughly 22 December to 19 January (the exact changeover shifts by a day in some years). It is a cardinal earth sign, symbolised by the Sea-Goat and traditionally ruled by Saturn.
