S e c r e t s:
Nature/Nurture expresses the profound emotional ties between parent and child. Inspired by netsuke art of the Orient, Nature/Nurture captures the tenderness and warmth of family. The touchstone theme of each Nature/Nurture figurine is a quality that all parents endeavor to pass on to their little ones. Those born in the Year of the Goat are said to be charming, elegant and artistic, and enjoy material comforts. However, their ability to give is also well-known, and in recognition, this wonderful trait is inscribed on this goat’s interior. Nature/Nurture figurines are made at England’s Wimberley Mills in the time-honored tradition of cottage manufacturing.
