Twelve Zodiac Seals Shadow Box

Zodiac Seals: Made of stamp stone. It is represented by twelve animals (Rats, Bulls, Tigers, Rabbits, Dragons, Snakes, Horses, Rams, Monkeys, Roosters, Dogs, and Pigs) with each animal representing a different year of the Chinese lunar calendar dates back to the second millennium BC. The cycle repeats every 12 years, Such as "the year of the dragon," "the year of the ox," and so forth.

Dating back to 2600 B.C., the Chinese lunar calendar bases its annual cycle on the phases of the moon. Each 12-year cycle is named after a different animal, each of which is thought to represent different character and personality traits. Our Zodiac Seals Shadow Box draws its inspiration from this ancient Chinese calendar, depicting each of the twelve animals (Rats, Bulls, Tigers, Rabbits, Dragons, Snakes, Horses, Rams, Monkeys, Roosters, Dogs, and Pigs) with stamp stones. Strikingly simplistic, the stones are set against a crisp white background and mounted in a dramatic black shadowbox. Makes an excellent gift idea for anyone who appreciates Chinese culture. 20.5"H x 25.5"W x 2"D.
