ITEM'S DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
A whimsical guardian - “The Sleeping Hedgehog with Broken Flower Sculpture” finds its place in your garden, where moss carpets the earth and dappled sunlight weaves magic. Crafted from sturdy concrete, this little guardian embodies both resilience and charm. Each quill is etched with care and captures the essence of a real hedgehog. Their gentle curves evoke memories of moonlit nights and rustling leaves.

A powerful symbol in ancient Egyptian mythology, the hedgehog was associated with protection and warding off evil spirits. Amulets or charms in the shape of a hedgehog were believed to bring good luck and protect against harm. In Christian beliefs, the hedgehog carries a symbol of resurrection and cautious progress. Drawing on its psychic ability to emerge unscathed after rolling up for protection, the little hedgehog teaches us about faith and renewal.

Bring your own guardian of luck and prosperity into your home and garden. Place it near your favorite blooms, where it becomes part of the natural tapestry, and let it watch over your tulips and daffodils. Or bring it indoors and let it be a delightful addition to your bookshelf, windowsill, or your colorful assortment of ceramic pots and terracotta. Imagine it nestled among succulents or guarding your collection of fairy tales at twilight when the world hushes and dreams stir - pause and listen. It may have a message just for you. Name it, cherish it, and let it be a reminder that magic exists where quills meet the flowers.
