Herend Mandrill Figurine - Limited Edition

Herend has a long - standing reputation for crafting the world's finest hand - painted porcelain. Its iconic fishnet pattern, very popular in the U.S., dates back to 1858. An artist, inspired by a Chinese plate's fish scale design, painted it on a rooster figurine's breast to mimic feathers. Every Herend figurine is meticulously handmade in Hungary. As Charles Darwin noted in 'The Descent of Man', adult male mandrills have an extraordinary coloration. Herend artists seized the opportunity to capture this magnificent animal in porcelain with their unique touch. This figurine combines Herend's signature fishnet pattern with the mandrill's vivid colors, paying a dazzling tribute to the world's largest monkey. It measures 5'L X 4.25'W X 5.75'H, is made of porcelain by hand, hand - painted in Hungary, and is part of a numbered limited edition of 150.

This Herend mandrill figurine is mainly for decoration. You can place it on a mantel, a bookshelf, or a display cabinet to add a touch of elegance to your space. When handling it, be gentle as it's made of porcelain and can break easily. Avoid placing it in high - traffic areas where it might get knocked over. To clean, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe off any dust. Don't use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they can damage the hand - painted finish. Keep it away from extreme temperatures and humidity to maintain its quality over time.
