{"product_id":"miniature-common-kingfisher-figurine-on-rock","title":"Miniature Common Kingfisher Figurine on Rock","description":"\u003cp\u003eA beautifully detailed miniature of a common kingfisher perched on a small grey rock. It's painted in vivid emerald green with fine pale-blue speckles on the crown and wings, a violet-blue streak down the back, a rich orange breast and cheek patches, a cream throat and a long, dagger-like black beak. It's light enough to perch on a fingertip and lovely on a bookshelf, windowsill or desk. It's most likely a Japanese capsule-toy figure. Maker unmarked. It's in good condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis little bird helped redesign Japan's bullet train. Early Shinkansen made a loud boom when they burst out of tunnels, so engineer Eiji Nakatsu, a keen birdwatcher, looked to the kingfisher, which dives from air into water with barely a splash. The long nose of the 500 Series Shinkansen was modelled on the kingfisher's beak, making the train quieter, faster and more efficient.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68136107933909,"sku":null,"price":950.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0739\/6006\/3189\/files\/vc-dscf2393.jpg?v=1794138639","url":"https:\/\/smallthings.in\/products\/miniature-common-kingfisher-figurine-on-rock","provider":"Small Things","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
