Typical Maxim Velčovský. In 2005, he took traditional porcelain figures, purely decorative items, and cut them a "slot for coins". This is provocative DIY design. The result was money boxes, now the figurines had a function!

Here, too, Velčovský applied his favorite technique of redesign. He started from a kitschy "vintage" sculpture of a squirrel sitting on its hind legs, which he improved slightly by making an elongated slit in the figure's back, transforming it into a money box. The designer thus refers to the time when porcelain figurines were worth a fortune and were therefore only affordable for a limited class of people.

The figures were produced in very small quantities and there is no "opening" to remove what has been thrown in (without shards).
