Brass Goat Figurine — Antique Zodiac Sculpture for Desk, Shelf and Tea Table

There’s something quietly commanding about a goat that stands this still.

This cast brass ram stands at 5.8cm long and weighs 130 grams — substantial enough to anchor a shelf display, compact enough to sit beside a teapot or on a desk corner. The curled horns sweep back in a single elegant arc. The fleece is carved in fine layered detail, the kind that catches light differently depending on the angle. The antique brass finish deepens all of it: warmer at the high points, darker in the recesses.

In Chinese culture, the goat is the eighth sign of the zodiac — associated with gentleness, creativity, and calm persistence. In Western tradition, the horned ram carries the symbolism of Capricorn: ambition, endurance, and the patience to climb. Either reading suits this piece. It sits with the quiet confidence of something that knows exactly where it belongs.

A considered gift for zodiac collectors, brass enthusiasts, or anyone who appreciates an object with both visual weight and symbolic depth.

Caring for Your Brass

Brass develops a natural patina over time — a sign of age and character, not damage. To keep the original shine, wipe occasionally with a soft dry cloth. For a deeper clean, a small amount of brass polish or a paste of lemon juice and baking soda works well. Avoid prolonged moisture or harsh chemicals. The more it’s handled, the warmer its glow becomes.

As with all handmade metalwork, slight variations are part of what makes each piece its own.
