All the right moves

It helps to be flexible when you ski and it’s not a bad idea to stretch before your first run. This penguin has what it takes to get ready for the mountain. The enameled pieces of its articulated body are linked together in away that allows the body to bend from side to side. He’s trimmed with gold accents, including his beak and feet, and he has big ruby-colored eyes. The ornament was bought with several others, but I assigned No. 600 to this one, because it’s so different from the others in the collection.
