KERBEDANZ gave this model the emblematic figure of the Horse, the noblest conquest of man.

As a totemic representation the Horse symbolizes the passion and the appetite of mankind for freedom. Among all the totems, it is emblematic of the motivation that transports the mankind through life. The significance of the Horse depends on the way in which it presents itself to us. It may appear like wild, tamed, moving freely or forced to live in a confined space.

Horses are highly symbolic of freedom and can be associated to:

The motivation, the desire to live
The passion, our wild desire of freedom
The balance between both instinctive and tamed personalities
The sexual energy
The male energy
Strong emotions of passionate desires

If the Horse is represented as forced or captive, it can symbolize bridled instincts.

The totem of the Horse, especially if it appears in a dream represents our vital energy and enthusiasm to express our authenticity. This totem can also stand as a reflection of how we treat our primitive desires, i.e. if our experiences are harmonious or difficult to control.

According to psychologist Carl Jung, Horses symbolize the natural forces controlled by human beings. Just as we exploit to mount a Horse or use its power, we can exploit our natural vitality or the nature to serve us or let us go further.

MICRO-SCULPTURE

The masters of micro-sculpture, over long hours of dexterity, which only human hand is able to create, allow to design and produce forms in volume; it could be in low-relief, relief in hollow, high relief or in ronde-bosse, by modelling, in direct carving, in hollow or in relief, by welding or by mechanical assembly.

BAS-RELIEF

The bas-relief is a sculpture or modelling projecting on a background to which it belongs and by which it is detached more or less. It can be painted. The peculiarity of the bas-relief is to present only low relief. The subject is represented feebly from the bottom. The bas-reliefs can be executed in terracotta, stone, marble, ivory, wood, all kinds of metals, vases, jewelry, precious stones, etc. They can be isolated and set in medallions, hollows or other architectural elements.

Used in watches, jewelry and silverware the bas-relief shows extremely fine reliefs sometimes reaching only a few tenths of a millimeter thick (or even only a tenth of a millimeter) on medals, cameos and some watches. This embodiment thus requires a mastery of the art as it is difficult to give a natural look to a figure that has very little thickness in proportion to its height and width. And it is even more difficult to form groups, since we cannot have different grounds away from each other as in the painting. A depth effect can still be created by a simulated perspective, decreasing sizes of characters or decorative elements.
