Description
This resin money box shows Ariel, the red-haired mermaid, leaning her arms on a grey rock with her green tail curling out behind her. She wears her purple seashell top, her long red hair sweeps back over her shoulders in deep, flowing waves, and her face is painted with a bright, cheerful smile. The rock is textured to look like weathered stone, and a coin slot sits in its top beside her hand, so every coin goes straight into the rock she rests on. She stands 20cm tall, 18cm wide and 10cm deep, a good size for a shelf without crowding it.
Ariel looks at home on a bedroom shelf, a bookcase or a dressing table, where her bright colours catch the eye from across the room, and at 10cm deep she fits neatly on the corner of a desk too. As a money box she gives saving a little purpose: coins dropped in after a good week, spare change emptied from a pocket, or the start of a fund for something special. She is just as happy as a decorative figure in her own right, and with her sea-green tail and grey rock she suits a room with a seaside or underwater theme.
She is made from resin, sometimes called polystone, which holds fine detail well, from the ridges along her tail fins to the rough grain of the rock. The paintwork picks out each part in its own colour: red hair, purple shell top, soft green tail and stone grey rock. Like any painted figure, she is best kept away from hard knocks and falls. To care for her, dust with a soft dry cloth, or wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth and dry straight away. For a gift, wrap her with a first coin already inside, so the saving starts the moment she is unwrapped.
