Year of the Snake 2027

The Chinese New Year celebration begins on 17 February 2027 and marks the start of the Year of the Snake. In Chinese astrology, the snake is intelligent, intuitive and cunning — a symbol of wisdom, renewal and deep insight. The Year of the Snake is said to bring with it reflection, strategic thinking and good opportunities for those who are patient.

Royal Selangor Zodiac Collection

Royal Selangor has been producing pewter Zodiac pieces for over 30 years — and for each Chinese New Year, collectibles are launched that pay tribute to the animal in question. Zodiac pieces from Royal Selangor are among the most popular collectibles in Southeast Asia and are sought after by enthusiasts worldwide.

Each Zodiac piece is cast in pewter with a wealth of detail that reproduces the animal's characteristic features. The worm will typically appear in an elegant, spiraling pose that emphasizes its dynamic form. Antique finish highlights the shells and contrasts in the design.

Give a gift for the recipient's zodiac animal

One of the most thoughtful gifts you can give someone interested in Chinese astrology is a Royal Selangor piece of the recipient's own zodiac animal. The twelve animals are: rat, bull, tiger, rabbit, dragon, worm, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. Find out the recipient's year of birth and we'll help you find the right piece.

A pewter Zodiac piece isn't just a gift — it's a link to millennia of Chinese cosmology.
