2002 LENOX Carousel Horse - Ocean Fantasy Seahorse Platinum Accents RARE For Sale

Ocean Fantasy Carousel Seahorse is an original work of art created by Lenox. This sculpture is crafted of bisque porcelain, richly accented with platinum, hand painted and issued in a limited editon of 1,500. One of the rarest carousel animals was inspired by the mythological sea-horse known as the hippocampus. This fantastical creature gets its name from the Greek for horse ("hippo") and fish ("campus"). The hippocampus features the swirling, twisted mane of a horse and the curved tail of a leaping fish. So few hippocampus figures were carved during the Golden age of the carousel, that only five originals exist today. One of which rides on a carousel in Kit Carson County in Burlington, Colorado. The Ocean Fantasy Carousel Seahorse is a magnificent sculpture that pays homage to this unique carousel animal and the talented carvers who first brought the myth to life. This horse is in its original packaging with a certificate of authenticity and is in mint condition. It has never been on display. It was stored in a smoke free and pet free home. Dimensions are about 9.50" inches High by 5.0" inches deep by 8.50" inches wide. Dated 2002
