Royal Copenhagen porcelain huskies figurine
One of the many flights the Lindberghs made together was to chart a circular route around the Atlantic Ocean. The trip took them north from New York through Newfoundland, Labrador, Greenland, and Iceland to Europe; then south into Africa; across the Atlantic to South America; and back to the United States. At every stop, they were showered with gifts, including this Royal Copenhagen figurine of a pair of husky dogs, presented to Anne when the couple touched down in Denmark.
