Britain's Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall needed a magnifying glass to see the presents gifted to them on their tour of Mexico.
Prince Charles and his wife, Duchess Camilla were presented with three miniature artworks by President Enrique Pena Nieto to mark their visit to the Latin American country, and needed the tool to see the intricate designs.
The artform - known as the Tree of Life and made of colourful clay - traditionally depict biblical stories but the artist instead had chosen to construct tiny images of the royal couple and their favourite hobbies and pastimes.
Returning the favour, the heir to the British throne and his wife later presented Mr. Pena Nieto and his other half with plates decorated with plants from his Highgrove garden and two wine coasters.
Earlier in the day, demonstrating his passion for promoting organic produce, Charles visited an island farm and travelled in a flat bottomed boat in which you have to stand rather than sit.
Meanwhile, Camilla met with two survivors of human trafficking at the Fundancion Camino A Casa - The Road Home, which provides shelter and rehabilition for under-age victims of the sex trade - and told them that she was both "humbled and moved" by their experiences.
Later today (04.11.14) the royal couple will visit the stunning Edzna Maya archaeological site, in the town of Campeche, which dates back to the year 400BC.

A campaign has been launched to save one of Britain's Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's favourite pubs.
Prince William and Duchess Catherine have enjoyed many a romantic meal and quiet drink at the Old Boot Inn in Bucklebury, West Berkshire and even invited owner John Haley to their wedding in 2011, but he's now applied for planning permission to turn the 300-year-old building into a house.
Mr. Haley claims the Grade 2 listed pub, which is still open at the moment, is no longer viable as a business, prompting shocked locals to mount a "save our pub" campaign, which they hope William and Catherine will support.
Andy MacKenzie, who lives in the area, told the Daily Express newspaper: "The Old Boot Inn is a valuable village community asset and would be greatly missed.
"The pub is well used and famed for royal patronage".
Other residents opposing the transformation of the building say it would "cause irrevocable damage to the unique character of this beautiful village" and are urging West Berkshire Council to reject the plans.
However, the future of the eating and drinking establishment so far remains unclear as financial data vital to the viability report has yet to be examined.

Britain's Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are to visit Wales later this week.
Prince William and his wife, Duchess Catherine - who is pregnant with their second child - are set to make a joint engagement after enjoying a week off at the Queen's Balmoral estate in Scotland when they visit the British country on Saturday (08.11.14).
The royal couple's "Wales away day" will begin with a visit to the Valero Pembroke Refinery, which is a significant employer of approximately 1,2000 locals in the west of the country, where they celebrate its 50th anniversary following its official opening by the Queen Mother in 1964.
William and Catherine - who have 13-month-old son Prince George together - will be presented with a timeline of the 50-year history of the refinery which will show its relationship with the local community.
They will also meet with workers, apprentices, placement students and their mentors before visiting the control room to meet blending and shipping workers before proceeding to the Fire Hall to meet representatives from various community organisations supported by the refinery.
The final element of their visit is likely to be of interest to art graduate Catherine, as both she and William will unveil a plaque and painting by a local artist.
The couple will also watch a performance by the Young Actors Studio, who work in partnership with the refinery through The Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, before attending the Rugby Union international match between Wales and Australia at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium.
