Description
This dragon and skull wall plaque brings a touch of dark fantasy to any room, cast in resin and finished in antique silver with a metallic effect. A winged dragon curls across the top of the piece, its scaled body and ridged wings framing an open Celtic knot at the centre, while its head turns down towards the knot with jaws open. Below the knot sits a horned skull with hollow eyes and bared teeth, and the dragon's tail winds down beneath it to finish in a round loop edged with knotwork. Dark shading worked into the recesses picks out every scale, horn and claw, so the detail reads clearly from across the room. It stands 36cm tall, 24cm across and 5cm deep.
Because the design is open at the centre, the wall behind shows through the knot and the gaps around it, which gives the plaque a lighter look than a solid panel. It suits a gothic or fantasy-themed room, a study, a hallway or the wall above a bookcase, and it sits comfortably beside dark painted walls and candlelight. At 36cm tall it works on its own above a desk or side table, or as the centrepiece of a small group of framed prints.
The back is finished in plain black with a keyhole hanger set near the top, so the plaque hangs flat against the wall from a single screw; choose a fixing suited to your wall. Resin takes fine detail well. To keep the finish at its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth, use a soft brush for the deeper recesses and avoid harsh cleaners. We would hang it at eye level where light falls across it from one side, as that brings out the shading and depth of the modelling. It also makes a striking present, needing only a screw to go up.
