Description
This cheerful resin figurine shows two capybaras dressed for the season, one standing on the other's back while the lower one heads off on a pair of bright red skis. The bottom capybara wears a red Santa hat with a fluffy white trim, a red scarf striped in green with white fringed ends, and black boots fixed to its skis. Balanced on top, its smaller companion has a Santa hat of its own and a green scarf with a little gold bell, and it carries a red present tied with gold ribbon and a small Christmas tree topped with a gold star. The fur is modelled in fine detail and painted a warm light brown, so the main colours are brown and red, with touches of green, white and gold. It stands 23.8cm tall, 13.5cm wide and 7cm deep.
At this size it sits happily on a mantelpiece, a bookshelf, a sideboard or a hall table, and at 7cm deep it fits a narrow windowsill without crowding it. We like it grouped with other festive pieces, where the red skis and Santa hats pick up the reds and greens of a traditional Christmas. The capybaras' calm, contented faces and the comedy of one balancing on the other bring a light-hearted note to a living room or kitchen shelf through December.
Resin holds fine detail well, which is why the textured fur, the hat trims and the fringed scarf ends come through so clearly. The figurine stands on its skis, so it needs no hook or stand. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth, and wrap it in tissue paper when the decorations are packed away. It makes a cheerful gift in the run-up to Christmas, and a fun piece to bring out again each winter.
