According to legend, the Greek god Poseidon (a.k.a. Neptune) ruled the seas
from a palace of coral and gems on the ocean floor. He was said to have a
volatile temperament. When angered, he would summon storms that wrecked ships.
For fun, he created monsters like octopus and squid. To demonstrate his love
for his wife, he created the dolphin; but he also had a wandering eye. When he
pursued the goddess of fields and harvests, she told him, "If you give a gift,
the most beautiful thing on the face of the earth, I will be yours." So he
created a horse and, when it galloped from the sea, tossing its mane and tail,
she thought it was so beautiful she gasped and said she was his
forever.
A Gift from the Sea is truly brought to life with the embellishments
added by artist Kim McElroy. Waves spill onto a small sandy beach, where
delicate shells and quartz-colored rocks have washed ashore. Kim has carefully
created this magical beach scene and added sand, shells and rocks to the front
of the base just for this special Autographed Edition figurine. Two distinctive
hoof prints are visible in the sand, soon to be peacefully washed away by the
salty sea. A moment in time is captured just before the ocean washes away the
prints, the powerful waves hold their breath and the pearlescent horse rears up
to gallop from the depths of the ocean. It is accompanied by two mystical
wave-horses, one on each side, guiding its way to the magical beach that Kim has
created, just for the Autographed Edition A Gift from the Sea.
