This penguin almost looks black, but you can see it’s true color shining through, especially near the white portions. It has an unusual face for a penguin, with a red mouth under a big nose-like beak. Also unusual is its gold turban-like headwear. The price seemed unusual too, until I realized this might be a Christopher Radko ornament from Poland, which also explains the rich colors and the nice design details.
