Description
This resin gonk decoration brings a cheerful touch of autumn to the home, standing 24cm tall with a pumpkin held in the crook of one arm. He wears a tall, pointed mustard-orange hat that curls over at the tip and is decorated with raised maple leaves in a deeper orange. Beneath it, a round rosy nose peeps out above a long white beard that flows almost to his brown boots. Turn him round and you will find an orange coat cinched with a black belt, and the hat and coat have a faceted, grained finish that gives him a homely, rustic look.
At 13.5cm across and 9cm deep, he takes up little room, so he sits happily on a mantelpiece, a windowsill, a bookshelf or a hall table. He makes a friendly focal point for an autumn table or a sideboard through the season, and looks as much at home on a farmhouse dresser as on a modern shelf. Group him with pine cones, dried leaves and a few small gourds for a quick seasonal display, or let him stand alone where he will catch the eye of everyone who passes. He also makes a cheerful little gift to bring a smile as the evenings draw in.
He is made from resin, which holds the fine detail of the flowing beard, the leaves on his hat and the ribbed pumpkin, and he stands upright on his own two boots with no need for a stand or a hook. To keep him looking his best, dust him with a soft dry cloth now and then, or wipe him over gently with a damp cloth and let him dry. When the season turns, he tucks away neatly until next autumn comes round. For a simple finishing touch, set him beside a bowl of real squash on the kitchen windowsill and let him keep watch over the harvest.
