Retired Lion and Lamb Porcelain Limoges Box
A lion rests beside a lamb on this retired porcelain box, an image of peace shared by Jewish and Christian tradition. Both animals are modeled and hand-painted in Limoges, France.
Peace in the Peaceable Kingdom
The picture of predator and prey lying down together comes from the prophecy of Isaiah and has been painted, carved and stitched for centuries. It speaks of a world at peace, where old enemies find rest side by side. Each box was painted by hand, so the coats of the lion and lamb vary from piece to piece.
A Retired Symbol of Harmony
- Retired from production
- Fits a faith, peace or animal collection
- Pairs with dove, angel and Noah's Ark boxes
Gifts That Bridge Traditions
Because the image is meaningful in more than one faith, this box makes a considerate present for an interfaith family, a clergy member or a wedding that brings two traditions together. It also suits a baptism, a bar or bat mitzvah, or a friend going through a difficult season.
Set it on a bookshelf, a mantel or a bedside table, where it serves as a quiet reminder of hope. For many owners, it holds a small note or a prayer written during a meaningful moment.
