In the great tradition of Alexander the Great and Genghis Khan who mastered horseback riding with their armies to conquer their adversaries, we honor the horse in this exquisite carving of gem material lapis.
The engine of both ancient conquest and industry, the noble horse has carried whole civilizations through history. These sapphire blue stallions are portrayed riding side by side, speaking to the horse’s dynamism, power, and multifaceted cultural influence.
This masterpiece was carved from natural untreated Lapis Lazuli.
