CHINESE HORSE SYMBOLISM
Occupying the 7th position on the Chinese Zodiac, the Horse symbolizes such character traits as strength, energy, and an outgoing nature. Extremely animated, Horses thrive when they’re the center of attention. Always in search of a good time, Horses keep the crowds happy with their humor and their wit.
The Horse is a symbol of nobility, class, speed and perseverance. It said that People born in the Year of the Horse are smart, fabulous speakers who have a gift for getting through to other people. They believe that their aim in life is “to seek individual freedom and happiness.”

Horse Prestige Collection
The HORSE Prestige collection is composed of a pen, lighter and ashtray:
Hand sculpted on a Néo-Classique President fountain pen, made in black Chinese lacquer, the yellow gold-plated Horse with a splendid mane on the top of the pen comes to its full magnitude. The horse’s eyes are set with two diamonds of 0.4 carats.
The same vivid sculpture is decorating the iconic Ligne 2 lighter in yellow gold finishes.
Both, pen and lighter, sit on a sculpted base in yellow bronze with a burnished hand patina bearing an engraved plate.
