Always leans towards work.
A Channapatna roly-poly with its weight set off-centre, so however you push it, it settles leaning towards WORK. “life” is lasered on too, much smaller. Painted tired eyes, a red hat, a black lac body. Balance not included.

Details
About 9 cm tall. Hand-turned ivory wood (hale mara), friction-applied lac colour, laser-marked. Made in Channapatna, Karnataka. Decorative object for adults, not a toy; not for children under 14. Comes in a kraft box with the story sleeve and a made-by card.
Care
Wipe with a dry, soft cloth. Keep out of direct sun and away from water; lac colour is natural and will fade if it lives on a windowsill. No polish needed, ever.

The same model our photos are rendered from. Turn it over, look under it, and try the one thing it does.

Getting it ready…
Stand straight.
Lean back to work.
The weight is off-centre on purpose.
How it’s made. Weighted round-bottom body and head turned; steel weight set off-centre. Face hand-painted. Lettering lasered.
“Just one more call.”
For the hustle, and against it.
Push it upright. Watch it drift back towards WORK. It is either a joke or a mirror, depending on your week.
