Capricorno

Capricorn according to the Zodiac
Capricorn introduces the winter season, the most difficult time of the year.
This is why Capricorn never gives up, but with a great inner discipline and a great practical sense, it succeeds in expressing its strength and vitality to the utmost. The sign is therefore associated with a tenacious, stubborn personality, determined to achieve the goal at all costs.
Commonly considered ambitious, in reality the important thing to him is to do things with a specific purpose and hopefully in the long term, as long as this purpose exists and is clear: doing things randomly is inadmissible.
Of few words, sometimes rude or hasty, he prefers to retire in solitude and not expose himself emotionally: letting oneself be overwhelmed by emotions is the most destabilizing experience, because it puts at risk the very strong inhibitory brakes that are his unconscious survival tool.
Sober and thoughtful, he does not like to waste time, so he works with maximum efficiency, not wasting resources and not paying too much attention to surface details.

Capricorn interpreted by Sibania
Capricorn is a methodical and tenacious sign and this figure’s pose reflects this characteristics: the bust is leaning forward tense to the movement, the left arm and the legs instead recall the traditional image of the sign, with the tail on the side and the paw ready to take the step.
The shape of the dress is complex but rational: the corset is embellished with a colorful detail and the skirt has two appendices to recall the tail of the sign. The hairstyle takes up instead the horns of the goat in the curls stretched on the top of the head, while the smooth and ordered locks on the shoulders reflect the rationality.
The colors associated with the sign are black and very dark green, seen in the corset and also in the eyes, while black hair recalls the winter period.
Similarly to the other Earth signs, Capricorn does not show lace but relies on a very marked texture that defines the dress.
The symbol of the sign is suggested by the bodice, which traces its line with the dark edges in the front and the green shape on the side.
Finally, the base is green, recalling the belonging to the Earth element.

Every product created by Sibania is unique both concerning the realization process of every single piece and the production technology, which boasts its being inimitable by others. Each item is hand made and hand painted in our workshop, set in Vicenza (Italy). All clothes are made of thin, porcelain layers on which different kinds of textures are impressed. These layers are cutted according to the characteristics of every single template. They are successively carefully applied on the figurine body. Hairstyles are also handcrafted depending on each figurine’s unique features. Faces, clothes and accessories are painted on the biscuit with non-toxic colors. The piece is eventually baked one last time (“third firing”). Any additional details such as violin strings or the Vespa kickstands are then applied on the finished piece.
