Story
Designer Chris Collicott created this playful tribute to the world's longest-reigning monarch. It captures the 'eternal wave' that became a symbol of her steadfast presence through decades of global change.
Maker / Origin
Kikkerland Design was founded in 1992 by Jan van der Lande and has become a powerhouse of witty, functional design. They specialize in 'ingenious items' that combine humor with technology, often collaborating with independent designers like Collicott.
Condition & Value
The figurine appears to be in good cosmetic condition with minor scuffing on the white base. The solar panel looks intact, though its functionality cannot be confirmed from the photo. Condition of the internal motor is the primary value driver.
