Dakota Sardine by Bordallo Pinheiro
Dakota Sardine by Bordallo Pinheiro
My name is Douglas DC-3, but I prefer to be called Dakota. I'm a classic of aviation, twin-engine, propeller driven. I was a pioneer at TAP and from the 1940s I connected Lisbon to Angola and Mozambique transporting passengers in comfort and safety. I am currently in the Air Museum. In the form of a sardine, I now honor the 75 years of the Portuguese airlines.
Sardines represent the Portuguese Coast.
Part of a series of collectible sardines decorated by artists. Comes in a gift box.
1 3/8” x 7 2/7” x 1 3/8”
