Use and Occasions

The horse (马, mǎ) is the seventh of the twelve Chinese zodiac signs and, in popular belief, stands for freedom, enterprise, passion and charisma. The Year of the Fire Horse only returns every 60 years — the last was 1966, the next begins on February 17, 2026. This wall hanging is suitable as a gift for Chinese New Year, for the birth of a child in the Fire Horse year or for the round birthday of a person born in the year of the Horse (birth years 1966, 1978, 1990, 2002, 2014). Regardless of its astrological significance, it is also suitable as a worthy horse portrait for riders, horse lovers and as a statement piece for the study.

Care

• Clean the silver plate with a soft polishing cloth — no abrasive cleaners, no direct water
• Keep the frame and passe-partout dry, do not hang in a damp environment
• Remove dust from the frame with a soft brush instead of wiping
