Description
This Harry Potter metal decoration takes the shape of a shield. It is filled with warm orange epoxy and edged in gold, with the words Care of Magical Creatures standing out in raised gold lettering across the top. Beneath them a hippogriff, half eagle and half horse, sweeps across the face with its wings spread wide, picked out in fine gold line-work and framed by small stars. An orange ribbon loop rises from the top, ready to hang. It measures 17.5cm high, 7cm across and 0.3cm deep, a flat, slim piece that sits neatly on a branch.
It is at its best on the Christmas tree, where the gold rim glints against the lights and the orange face brings a warm, cheerful colour among the greens and reds. Because it hangs from a ribbon loop rather than a hook, it also looks at home on a door handle, a wreath, a garland, a peg rail or a cupboard knob, so it can stay on show away from the tree. On a tree themed around the Harry Potter stories it fits right in, and it makes a thoughtful small Christmas gift to slip into a stocking or tie onto a wrapped present.
The body is metal, with the orange epoxy laid inside the raised gold outlines, so the lettering and the hippogriff stay crisp and easy to read. At just 0.3cm deep it lies flat in a box of decorations between Christmases. We suggest wrapping it in tissue so the gold edges stay bright. Dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it gently with a barely damp cloth and dry it straight away. Hang it at eye height near the front of the tree, where the words can be read up close, or set it among plain gold baubles and let the orange shield take centre stage.
