Comment
The year 2016 belongs to the Monkey, the animal in Chinese astrology that most closely resembles the human being. Extremely intelligent and charismatic, the Monkey is endowed with boundless agility. It's highly inventive, sociable and inspiring. But the Monkey is a schemer, and if you fall into his trap, you'll forgive him thanks to your affection and admiration. The Monkey doesn't lack wit or charm; he'll win your heart and keep it forever.Packaging
The piece is encapsulated and presented in a silver satin-finish case with a specially designed red sheath.
