Chinese Zodiac Rat Box

As part of a growing series of lidded boxes representing animals from the Chinese zodiac, this piece embodies the optimism and ambitiousness of those born during the Year of the Rat. With good instincts and charm, each piece illustrates the wisdom of the rat.

"I love to design pieces that carry meaning and which can be given for special occasions across different cultures. The sculpt of the zodiac boxes each express the individual characteristics of the animal, and were sculpted fairly quickly so that the pieces would have a spontaneous quality to them."
