Description
This green wall banner carries the gold lettering of Gringotts Wizarding Bank from the Harry Potter stories, laid out like an old-fashioned bank sign with curling flourishes and tiny stars. Beside the name sits an oval picture of the bank's domed building. Across the centre runs the motto Fortius Quo Fidelius in a gold-edged panel, and towards the point a round seal reads The Bank of Gringotts. It measures 62cm tall and 25cm wide, and at just 0.3cm deep it lies flat against the wall. A peach tassel and a rose-gold charm marked Hogwarts hang from one end of the top rod, and a soft peach fringe edges the pointed base.
It belongs on a wall indoors: above a desk in a study, over a bookcase, beside a bed or along a hallway, where the deep green and gold stand out against a painted wall. The long, narrow shape suits the gap between two shelves or the space beside a door, and it brings colour to a spot where a framed print would feel too heavy. The gold lettering catches lamplight in the evening, so it looks at home in a reading corner or a den lined with books. As a gift it arrives ready to hang on its own cord, with no frame to buy.
A slim rod runs through the top hem, with a cord tied to each end, so the banner hangs from a single hook or nail and needs no other fixing. The reverse is plain dark green, and the fringe follows both sloping edges of the point. To keep it looking its best, dust it gently with a soft dry cloth now and then, and smooth the fringe with your fingers if it gets ruffled. Hang it at eye level, where the motto and the small seal can be read up close, and let the tassel fall free at the side.
