The Caterpillar figurine represents one of the most iconic characters from Lewis Carroll 's novel Alice in Wonderland , illustrated by John Tenniel . Seated on a mushroom, the Caterpillar holds its hookah with philosophical nonchalance, questioning Alice in a mysterious tone:
 
 
 " Who are you ? "
 
 
 Sculpted in tin alloy , hand-painted with acrylics and lacquered with a glossy and durable finish, this figurine embodies the know-how of the Figurart workshop in Compiègne , specializing in the creation of miniature art objects inspired by literary and artistic heritage.
 The details of the figurine – the calm posture, the texture of the mushroom, the movement of the hookah – were designed to evoke the dreamlike and symbolic world of Victorian England and the wonders of Alice.
