About the Item

Aries Head sculpture in gilded bronze and brass pedestal made in the 1970s Ø cm 20 h cm 43 Aries is rich in symbolism, intertwining astrological, mythological and cultural meanings. Being the first sign of the zodiac, in astrology Aries symbolizes beginning, rebirth and primordial energy. It represents the spring equinox, the time when nature awakens. Aries is associated with strength, courage and determination. It represents the impulse to undertake new challenges and overcome obstacles. Being a fire sign, Aries is related to passion, enthusiasm and impulsiveness. It symbolizes vital energy and the will to act. He is considered a natural, independent and confident leader. It represents individuality and the ability to take the initiative. In Greek mythology, Aries is associated with the golden fleece, a symbol of power and wealth. The legend of the Golden Fleece represents the pursuit of adventure and the conquest of difficult goals. Among the ancient Egyptians, Aries was associated with the god Amun-Ra, represented with the head of a ram. Amon-Ra was the god of the sun, fertility and creativity. The ram's horns have often been associated with the cornucopia, a symbol of abundance and prosperity. Mutton, in itself, is a symbol of fertility.
