Model No: 1136 Tete de Belier. Created February 1928
Ariès, the mythological animal, was also represented, in an Art Deco style by René LALIQUE, who understood so well by the simple but bold lines of this ram's head, to make us understand all his determination, his strength, his stubbornness.
Lalique was himself also an Ariès associated with the element of fire, so important in the art of glassmaking.
