"Adorable little figurine"
This little guy looks exactly like the photo online though I can see slight discrepancies in the painting, just as you would with a handmade item. I love him and he now lives with the other penguins in my collection.

"Just the sweetest!"
My sister was a pink flamingo collector, but unfortunately she passed away. I bought it in her honor. It sits on top of my jewelry box. Great craftmanship! Beautiful colors! Thank you!

"Proud Lion is a real winner"
He has definitely won my heart....Very sweet carving and beautifully painted. He has a new best friend -- my blue elephant also made by Manuel Delfino. Both have joined a Nativity set from Central America.
