Description
This polished resin figurine of a young graduate stands 30cm tall, a fine way to mark the day the cap and gown finally go on. He wears a flowing gown with full, gathered sleeves, a collar and tie beneath, and a mortarboard with its tassel falling to one side. In one hand he holds a rolled scroll and in the other a book, and he stands on a stack of two books decorated with scrolling motifs and diamond panels. The whole piece has a metallic bronze effect finish, warm and polished, that catches the light across every fold of the gown.
At just 8.5cm wide and 7.5cm deep, it needs very little room, so it sits comfortably on a bookshelf, a desk, a mantelpiece or a dresser in a study, bedroom or living room. Its slim, upright shape suits a narrow shelf and stands neatly beside a framed portrait from the day without crowding it. We think it makes a thoughtful graduation gift, whether the results are just in or the ceremony is still a few weeks away, and it is the kind of present that stays out on show long after the cards have been tidied away.
The figurine is made from resin, which holds fine detail in the creases of the gown and the patterns on the books, and the flat base of the book stack lets it stand on any level surface with no fixings needed. The bronze colour is a metallic effect finish on the resin rather than solid metal. To keep it looking its best, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from water and household cleaners. Wrap it in tissue, add a card with a few words of congratulations, and it is ready to hand over on graduation day.
