“Kukubara” ranks to the re-designs characteristic of studio Qubus. Designer Maxim Velčovský somewhat improved a sculpture, originating from the first half of the 20th century, by inserting an oblong slot situated on the bird’s head, thus transforming it into a money box. Here, Velčovský again refers to the mid-18th century, i.e. a period when a porcelain figure was worth a fortune and was thus affordable for only a limited stratum of people. Today, the price of the figure can be upped by inserting money.
