Not sure what to think about this.

I said I was done and then I found this guy in the Faberge display. Diamonds for eyes! 🤩 No bigger than my index finger and so exquisite. #littleguys

A chameleon carved from nephrite (looks like jade). It’s clinging to a post. So small but bursts with personality. I’d love one on my desk.

Last of the #littleguys. Everybody talks about William the blue hippo but what about William’s smol fren in a nearby case? Half William’s size but no reduction in cuteness and the tiny creatures in front of him/her are champion #littleguys in their own right.

A bright blue faience hippo (not William the blue hippo who is bigger) with a lineup of tiny animal figurines including a couple of frogs and a turtle. All deserve a portion of the attention and gift shop memorabilia devoted to William.

Next in the #littleguys: a Minoan bull, 1400-1200 BCE or maybe later. No longer than my index finger. Not a threatening bull - there’s a nonchalance in the stance that tips it towards adorable-ness.

A very small bronze bull. Very abstract. Very cute. Not intimidating. Would make a great plush toy.

The next of the #littleguys. A Greek bronze goat, late 6th or early 5th century BC. I love the nonchalant ease of the leap and the detailed face. No bigger than my fist.
