This charming hand-painted porcelain figurine depicts a small child standing on tiptoes, reaching up to drop a coin through the slot at the top of a tall stacked column. The child wears the signature Hummel-style outfit: a green smock layered over an orange polka-dot pinafore, gray socks, and dark shoes, with rosy cheeks and the gentle, downcast expression that has made these figurines beloved worldwide for nearly a century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe bank functions: coins drop through the slotted top into a chamber within the porcelain column, and the original metal locking coin plate on the underside (with key slot) allows access to deposited savings.
