Description
This little resin dragon egg figurine catches Fang, a baby dragon, at the very moment it hatches. Purple with a metallic sheen, Fang hauls itself over the rim of a cracked golden egg. One clawed foot grips the broken shell, its tail curls round the outside and its head is raised to show a dark eye, little horns and frilled crests. The egg is an oval of overlapping scales, each one picked out in gold against darker hollows so the light runs across them, and fine cracks spread down from the break. It stands 8cm tall and measures 8cm deep and 5.7cm wide, so it sits happily in a small space.
Its size suits a bookshelf, a desk, a bedside table or a mantelpiece, where it rests on the curve of the egg without needing a stand or any fixing. It looks just as good tucked among the spines of a shelf of fantasy novels as it does on a windowsill or in a display cabinet with other small ornaments. At Halloween it earns its place in a seasonal display, nestled between pumpkins, gourds and autumn leaves, and it makes a thoughtful Halloween gift that is easy to wrap.
The figurine is cast in polystone resin, which holds the fine detail of every scale, claw and horn. A metallic effect finish gives the gold its gleam and the purple a soft shimmer. It is an ornament for display rather than handling. To keep it looking its best, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth or a clean, soft paintbrush, which reaches into the grooves between the scales. If it needs more, wipe it with a barely damp cloth and dry it straight away. We like it on a small stack of books, raised just enough for Fang to peer out at the room.
