Description
Lanterns sway over the streets of the Belleville neighbourhood in Paris as the Lunar New Year arrives. Firecrackers crackle, a lion dances its way along the boulevard to the beat of drums, and the bakeries are piled high with sesame balls and sweet pastries. A grandmother presses a red envelope into her grandson’s hand and tells him that this is the Year of the Snake, a time for wisdom, patience and new beginnings. He promises to try his best.
This box honours that ancient tradition. Created to celebrate the 2025 Year of the Snake from Chinese astrology, it is painted with an intricate, symbolic design. It makes a meaningful gift for anyone born in a snake year, a baby welcomed during 2025, a friend who follows the zodiac, or a family celebrating Lunar New Year. Displayed with other zodiac pieces, it becomes part of a collection that grows with each passing year.
