Description
This resin dragon figurine sits hunched on top of a pair of sculpted books, its wings raised and its long tail curling down to the base. The dragon is finished in a metallic blue with purple highlights along its spines, silver through the wings and touches of gold at the horn and wing tips, so it catches the light from every side. Beneath it, the upright book has a warm brown cover worked with raised scrollwork, a silver skull at its centre and lettering reading DRAGO near the foot, half hidden where the tail curls across. It stands on a second book laid flat. The piece measures 21cm tall, 16cm across and 12.5cm deep.
At 21cm tall, it is sized for a bookshelf, a desk or a mantelpiece, where the dragon can peer down over the edge of the book at the room below. It suits a study, a reading corner or a bedroom with a fantasy or gothic feel, and it sits comfortably among real books on a shelf. As a gift, it is a good choice for anyone who loves dragons, fantasy stories and myths, or who keeps a shelf of figurines and likes each one to hold its own.
The figurine is made from resin, which holds the fine detail of the scales and scrollwork, and the books form a flat, steady base, so it stands freely with no fixing needed. The back is finished as carefully as the front, with the tail wrapping round to the bottom book, so it looks right on an open shelf or a table seen from both sides. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth, reaching into the wings and spines with a soft brush. We like it set at the end of a row of books, where it makes a striking guardian for the shelf.
