Notes accredited to Lladro.com;
The Legend Collection culminates representing the divine love. The unicorns are magical creatures with a noble, pure and highly spiritual nature. This has helped to turn them into symbols of sanctity, virginity and power in several cultures. The god Eros, with the triumphant expression of his diamond eyes, rides the unicorn to express the power of supreme love. Eros wears his divine gold jewels and is depicted in the plenitude of his power, victorious on his mount. It is the triumph of life, of universal truth, of absolute values.
