The Spirit of Courage

Our beautiful Queen and her horse are riding over the waves, the base representing the hull of a ship acknowledging our journey across the world and our journey through life.

The Spirit of Courage is perfect to lead in any Carnival Section.  Originally designed for the Queens Platinum Jubilee Pageant this breath-taking piece will bring excitement and creativity to any Carnival.

The Carnival backpack piece is inspired by longitude and latitude lines adorned with gold globes and planets – the world and universe both as a physical and spiritual journey. Her headdress, based on a mariner’s astrolabe, cradles a globe showing the unity that is achieved with the open sharing and understanding of culture and heritage. A 5-metre hand painted silk sail flag with hand woven, heritage quality silk from Murshidabad is printed with gold, metallic ink designs inspired by maps, compasses, universe and galaxies.
