Description
This resin circus elephant ornament brings a little of the big top to your Christmas decorating. Our grey elephant stands upright on its hind legs, one front foot planted on a red drum and the other raised in a showman's wave, while its curled trunk holds a deep red dish with a gold ball balanced on top. A red collar, red bands at the ankles and a red-edged saddle cloth patterned in cream and gold pick out the circus costume, and the drum has gold rims and a raised diamond pattern studded all round. Fine sculpted lines run across the grey skin and ears.
At 17.5cm tall, 9cm wide and 5.7cm deep, it is a compact piece that fits on a mantelpiece, a bookshelf, a windowsill or a sideboard without crowding what is there. The narrow depth means it sits happily on a slim shelf, and it stands on its own back feet and drum, so it needs no stand. We like it among the baubles and greenery of a Christmas display, where the red and gold pick up the colours of the season, but the cheerful circus theme works as well on a shelf all year round. As a Christmas gift it suits anyone who loves a characterful ornament with a bit of fun to it.
The ornament is made from resin, which holds the crisp detail of the trunk, ears and drum pattern and gives the colours a clean edge. It is a decorative piece rather than a toy, so it is best placed where it can be enjoyed without being handled often. Dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from harsh cleaners. For a playful display, set it on a shelf with pine cones or fairy lights nearby, or group it with other red and gold decorations to build a little circus parade of your own.
