The original Zodiac animals

Did you know that the original set of 12 (small clear crystal) zodiac animals were all designed by Anton Hirzinger? They were released in batches of 3 per year starting in 2001 with the Goat, Ox and Rat (plus the display stand). In 2002 the horse, monkey and pig followed, with 2003 seeing the introduction of the dog, rabbit and tiger, followed in 2004 by the final batch comprising the dragon, rooster and snake. The entire set, including display stand were retired in 2005.
