Product Overview
This compact wooden box carries a Leo zodiac design in enamel, the kind of small gift that suits the sign of the summer birthday. 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 lion 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
Leo is usually read as the Nemean lion defeated by Heracles in the first of his twelve labours. Its brightest star, Regulus, takes its name from the Latin for "little king". Leo runs from roughly 23 July to 22 August (the exact changeover shifts by a day in some years). It is a fixed fire sign, symbolised by the Lion and traditionally ruled by the Sun.
