Description
This resin dachshund figurine brings a cheerful sausage dog to the Christmas tree, wrapped up for the cold in a red and white striped bobble hat and a matching scarf. He stretches into a playful bow, front paws down and curly tail held high, with his head tipped back and his eyes turned hopefully upwards. The scarf loops around his neck and trails between his front paws, striped red, white and yellow with fringed golden ends, while the hat has a thick white brim and a white bobble on top. His coat is a warm brown, deepening along his back, ears and paws.
A red ribbon loop runs through a small gold-coloured eye on his back, ready to slip over a branch. At 3.5cm deep he sits close to the branches rather than jutting out, and he is just as happy hung from a wreath, a garland along the mantelpiece, a cupboard knob or a hook in the hallway through the festive weeks. He makes a cheerful little Christmas gift, the kind of tree decoration that gets unpacked each December with a smile and a story, and he brings a touch of humour to a tree of glass baubles.
He is made from resin, also known as polystone, which holds fine detail well: the knit of his hat and the fringe of his scarf are picked out clearly. A glazed finish gives his brown coat a soft sheen. Resin can chip if it is dropped, so hang him where he will not be knocked, and dust him now and then with a soft dry cloth. After Christmas, wrap him in tissue and box him away so he comes out in good order next year. We like him hung low at the front of the tree, where his upturned face greets anyone passing and the red of his hat picks up red ribbon and baubles.
