It reminds me to spread my wings, but not to spread myself too thin. He comes in two variations: Salted (red) and Unsalted (blue). ---

Oh, fun little design ! I’m not sure I understand, does this serve a purpose other than decorative ? ---

Thank you. It’s a decorative, 3D-Printed figure. A literal _figure_ of speech. This is one of many I’ve created and sell. They make fun gifts for dad-joke enthusiasts and pun lovers. ---
