This smiling hatchling dragon sits upright with folded wings, looking skyward as if about to take its first flight.

Carved in cast stone with a natural grey finish, every scale and claw is picked out in fine detail. The expression is playful rather than fierce. It works as a standalone feature or grouped with other pieces from the Melmar Mystical range.

At 240mm tall and weighing 4kg, this ornament is solid enough to sit on a wall, step, or garden table without toppling. The cast stone body is guaranteed frost-proof. Over the seasons, the surface picks up a natural patina of moss and lichen that makes it look even more at home outdoors.

Priced at £59 with free UK delivery, the Smiling Hatchling Dragon makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves fantasy or garden wildlife.
