Description
Our sitting capybara figurine shows this gentle animal settled on its haunches, front legs planted and broad, blunt muzzle raised as if keeping a calm eye on the room. It is made from resin, also called polystone, and painted a warm brown that deepens to a darker shade on the feet, with fine ridges across the body picking out the coarse, shaggy fur. Dark glossy eyes, small rounded ears and a soft grey tint on the nose give the face a true-to-life look. It stands 29.5cm tall, 33cm wide and 20cm deep, a solid size that holds its own on a shelf.
At 20cm deep it sits comfortably on a mantelpiece, a deep windowsill or a bookcase shelf, while at 33cm wide it suits a spot where its seated profile can be enjoyed from the side. It looks at home in a living room, hallway or study, on a sideboard beside a lamp or on a console table. The fur detail carries all the way round to its rounded back, so it works as well on an open shelf or a table in the middle of a room as it does against a wall. It makes a cheerful gift, and a characterful piece for your own home.
The figurine rests on its haunches and four feet, so it needs no stand, hook or fixing; simply set it down on a flat, steady surface. The moulding picks out each toe and claw, and the paint shades from a lighter brown on the face and chest to a deeper tone on the legs. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it gently with a slightly damp cloth and dry it straight away. For styling, pair it with trailing greenery or a stack of books, or set it on a low table where its calm expression greets everyone who comes in.

It is made from resin, also known as polystone, which lets the fine fur texture, toes and claws be moulded in detail before it is painted in warm browns.

It is a warm brown all over, shading to a deeper brown on the legs and feet, with dark glossy eyes and a soft grey tint on the nose.
How should I look after it?
Dust it with a soft dry cloth now and then, or wipe it gently with a slightly damp cloth and dry it straight away to keep the paint looking fresh.
Is the back detailed as well as the front?
Yes, the textured fur runs all the way round to its rounded back, so it looks good from every side, even in the middle of a table.
