Hedgehog Lying on Back Hand-Painted Resin Figurine - Brown

This little resin hedgehog figurine lies on its back with its paws in the air, its brown coat of spines curled round it like a cosy bowl. It is hand-painted, with a soft cream face and belly, dark eyes, a black button nose and pale paws touched with pink, while the spines are moulded in neat overlapping rows. It stands 8cm high, 8cm across and 9.5cm deep, small enough to tuck into a corner of a shelf yet full of character for its size. The upturned feet and that slightly surprised expression give it a playful look that tends to raise a smile from anyone who spots it.

At this size the figurine sits happily on a mantelpiece, a bookshelf, a windowsill or a bedside table, and it settles in well beside plants, books or framed photographs. It brings a gentle woodland feel to a living room, a study or a kitchen shelf, and it suits a country-style home just as well as a more modern room that could use a nod to the countryside. Because it is so compact, it also works in a group, perhaps alongside other animal ornaments on a dresser, or on its own as a small focal point on a desk where it can keep you company through the working day.

Made from resin and painted by hand, the hedgehog has soft shading around its face and darker tips along its spines. Keep it indoors on a dry shelf, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth, and wipe it gently with a barely damp cloth if needed, avoiding harsh cleaners that could dull the paint. Set it beside a stack of books or a small potted plant for an instant woodland corner, or wrap it up as a cheerful little present that is easy to give and lovely to receive.
