This Limoges box is shaped like a horse’s head. The eyes of the horse are particularly alive and they give an animated quality to the horse’s head. The dark color used for the reins gives a vivid appearance to it. The Limoges box opens below the horse’s chin. The clasp of the box is horse shoe-shaped to complement the theme of the box. This is a great gift item. It will look very decorative on a table or show case.
