Currently available, we have this interesting little "maneken Pis" charm that depicts a boy urinating.
Now, anyone that is familiar with famous monuments of Belgium, would probably be familiar with what this is. And, for anyone who is not, you are probably wondering "what on earth is this!"
Maneken Pis, is a famous statue located in the heart of the city of Brussels. This statue is a long standing and much loved monument that is dated to approximately 1618.
The story of Maneken Pis, is that of a little boy who desperately needed to urinate, and in doing so, he happened to save the city of Brussels from attack, by urinating onto the fuse of an explosive.
