The image shows a special ceramic figurine called Sardinha by Bordallo Pinheiro, a tribute to the traditional Portuguese sardine. Key details include:


* It is a hand-painted ceramic figurine shaped like a sardine.

* Each year, Bordallo Pinheiro releases a new collection designed by Portuguese artists, designers, or celebrities.

These limited-edition collections are popular among collectors and tourists.

* The figurine has become a symbol of Lisbon, particularly during the Saint Anthony festivities in June.

Bordallo Pinheiro's work is known for its vibrant colors, detailed craftsmanship, and use of natural motifs.

* Each sardine is wrapped in a original packaging to simulate a sheet of newspaper, in a throwback to the tradition of the sale of the fish in Lisbon, dating back to the XVIII century
