| "Close
Shave" |
| Treasure
Jest Series |
| by Peter
Calvesbert |
| Made in England |
| This box figurine
features hedgehogs ... three of them are consoling the
fourth one who has been run over by a car that has shaven
off part of his back. |
| Hedgehogs run rampant
in the Cotswolds, much like squirrels, possums, and armadillos in
the USA, and they are prone to suffer the same fate in
their attempt to cross roadways. |
| All four hedgehogs
nestle atop a bed of leaves, scattered with trinkets and
trash. The mouse is hiding beneath a leaf near the
worm on the base. |
| The tire of the car
that swerved to miss the lucky, shaven hedgehog is found
within the box. |

| SIZE: 2.5
