Why You’ll Love It
This wonderfully imaginative one-of-a-kind sculpture by miniature doll artist Aleah Klay depicts a mother dragon and her playful baby in a delightfully tender pose. The baby clings to its mother’s tail while carrying an even tinier toy dragon of its own, a concept inspired by elephant calves holding onto their mothers’ tails with their trunks as they walk. Sculpted in polymer clay with mixed-media details, including a soft faux-fur tuft, the vivid blue dragons are full of personality, texture, and expressive character. A charming 2018 fantasy artwork with a beautifully whimsical story behind it.
Perfect for: fantasy dollhouses, dragon collections, nurseries, wizard rooms, magical scenes, OOAK miniature art collections

A Note About Value
Every miniature we offer has been carefully evaluated for its craftsmanship, rarity, condition, provenance, and collectibility. Many of the artisan pieces we sell are one-of-a-kind works that may never appear on the market again. While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.
Our pricing reflects the miniature's place within today's collector market and the years we've spent studying the artists, histories, and values that make these tiny works of art so special.
A Commitment to Research
Every miniature has a story, and uncovering it is one of our greatest passions. We carefully research each piece, but unsigned or illegible works can remain mysteries. If you can identify an artist or provide additional information, we'd be delighted to hear from you and will gladly update the listing to preserve their legacy.
