The collection includes an expressive mix of animals, birds, and mounted figures, each embellished with its own intricate patterning, ceremonial textiles, and linear details.

The figures have the charming irregularities expected from hand craftsmanship. Differences in shape, scale, painting, and surface wear give each one an individual personality while the shared palette unifies the group. Display them together as a colorful animal procession, divide them among bookshelves, or incorporate them into a layered tablescape.

Beyond decorative display, these work especially well as place-setting figures or guest markers for a dinner party. Assign each guest a different animal and position a handwritten tent card against the figure’s base. They can also identify buffet dishes, cocktails, table numbers, or party favors. They do not contain slots, so they should be described as place-setting accents rather than conventional place-card holders.

Sold as a complete set of 11.
