Christmas Sheep Shelf Figurine with Red Hat and Bell - White

This cheerful Christmas sheep figurine is made to perch on the edge of a shelf, with its long twisted legs hanging down over the side. Its white coat is textured to look soft and woolly, and it wears a red hat with a white trim and a fluffy white bobble, just like Father Christmas. A green holly wreath dotted with red berries sits around its neck, and in one hoof it holds a small golden bell. At the end of each leg is a little dark boot with a white cuff, which gives the whole piece a playful, storybook feel. It measures 7cm wide and 6.5cm deep, so it takes up very little room on even a narrow ledge.

Because it is designed to sit on an edge rather than stand in the middle of a surface, our sheep comes into its own wherever there is a ledge to perch on: the mantelpiece above the fire, a bookshelf in the living room, a kitchen dresser, a hallway console or a deep windowsill. Its small footprint means it can sit among cards and garlands without crowding them. It brings a gentle farmhouse warmth to festive shelves, and it makes a thoughtful Christmas gift.

Every detail is picked out in colour, from the pink nose and inner ears to the berries tucked into the holly, and the bell has a warm gold tone. The legs simply hang over the edge, so the sheep needs no hooks or fixings. To keep it looking its best, dust it gently with a soft dry cloth and keep it somewhere dry. When the decorations come down, wrap it in tissue and store it in a box, ready to bring out again next year. We like it at the end of the mantelpiece beside the Christmas cards, where those dangling boots hang just over the edge.
