This detailed figurine (small statuette)
of a duck billed platypus is
made of Australian pewter in Tasmania.
It's a nice piece of art and a great long remembered gift (it's just too good to be thrown in a box or kept away)
The base is designed as a pebbly creek
bottom. Velvet padding makes the statuette scratch-safe on delicate
surface, so it's ideal as a paper weight, or desk / shelf decoration - a
great piece of Australia in your home
Cast in text on a pedestal features platypus
