This very small little penguin is a tiny work of art. The painting is so detailed that I like turning it over in my hands to see all the intricate patterns. This mama penguin is a great addition to my penguin collection!
It's not easy to find a good quality depiction of a mallard hen -- most statuettes are of the drake -- perhaps because the markings on the hen are delicate and subtle. The artist has done a wonderful job here, and I'm very happy with it. It occupies an honored place in our home.
Although I am in the USA, I love this carved duck as a unique addition to the nursing memorobilia I have in my home office. I am considering purchasing one for a friend who is retiring. This item is tall but light.
