Title: Perched Malachite Kingfisher Porcelain Figurine.
Manufacturer: Unknown.
Height: 16.0cm.
Width: 7.0cm.
Depth: 14.0cm.
Info: A well crafted and well decorated charming piece of a Kingfisher perched on a small stump.
Kingfisher: (Family Alcedinidae)
Appearance: Kingfishers are some of the most brilliantly coloured birds in South Africa. Many of them have strident voices and dramatic courtship displays. Most species have some blue plumage and many have a red bill. Along with many other river and water kingfishers, malachite kingfishers have some of the best eyes in the animal kingdom. These tiny birds spend their days by the river on a perch. Here they will sit and wait, watching the waters below.
With their excellent eyesight, they are able to spot tiny fish, frogs, and even water insects. Thats not all. There is a special kingfisher adaptation that these birds use to catch their prey they can adjust for light refraction. Allowing them to tell exactly how deep a fish is before even starting to fly.
Condition: Excellent, no issues on the figurine at all.
Price: R 195.00 Inc Vat.
