No batteries, no wiring, nothing to switch on.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout this item\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"sf-rte__about\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo separate pieces. The dragon hooks over the shelf edge; the flame column stands on the books beneath it. Nothing joins them — the gap is what makes the effect work, and it is also what lets you set the height.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCast resin, hand-finished. The scales, the wing membrane and the ribbing on the flame are moulded detail, not printed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo power of any kind. It does not light up, it does not need a socket, and there is nothing in it to fail.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt works as a bookend in the loose sense — it is an ornament that lives on a shelf of books. It is resin, not cast iron, and it will not hold up a heavy run of hardbacks on its own.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNothing to assemble.
