This is a clown, I believe that it is hand painted…so this is a gift that I gave to my parents, I believe it was on a 10th wedding anniversary. So I was the kind of kid who kept a piggy bank and all of my money I would usually spend on some kind of gift. So [for my parent’s anniversary] I ended up buying a rose, and I remember I [also] bought…a porcelain elephant, and then I remember I had two more zloty, which translated into maybe a dollar or a dollar fifty cents, and I was asking the lady at the flower shop what cost like two zloty, and she said this [hand painted clown figurine]…and so I ended up buying [it]. So I gave to my parents…one rose, an elephant [figurine] and then this little thing.
