Description
This metal hanging decoration carries the Gryffindor house crest from Harry Potter, picked out in raised gold lines on a deep red epoxy ground. Its outline follows the shape of the crest itself, with the knight's helmet at the top, sweeping mantling on either side, the rampant lion on its shield at the centre and a curling scroll across the foot reading GRYFFINDOR. It hangs from a bright red ribbon printed in gold with the words Harry Potter, so the colours carry right up to the branch. It is 18cm high, 6.5cm wide and just 0.3cm deep, a slim, flat piece that sits close among the branches.
With Christmas as its season, the obvious home is the tree, where the red and gold sit happily alongside traditional baubles and warm white lights. It works as well off the tree: hang it from a garland along the mantelpiece, from a hook on a dresser or shelf, or from a window latch where the gold catches the daylight. Tied to the ribbon of a wrapped present, it also makes a keepsake gift topper. As a Christmas present in its own right, it is a thoughtful choice that comes out year after year with the rest of the decorations.
The body is metal, with the crest's raised gold detail set into a smooth red epoxy finish and a polished gold rim around the edge. The back is plain gold, and the ribbon is held at the top by a small metal plate with two fixings. Dust it with a soft dry cloth; if it needs more, wipe the front gently with a slightly damp cloth and dry it straight away. When the tree comes down, wrap it in tissue paper and store it flat with the ribbon folded alongside. For a neat finish, hang it at eye level on an outer branch where the crest faces the room.
