Description
This potted mandrake resin figurine brings one of the most memorable plants from Harry Potter to a shelf or desk, finished all over in warm gold. The mandrake sits up out of its flowerpot with a deeply lined, grumpy little face, its hands resting at the rim and two broad leaves on twisting stalks arching overhead. The pot stands on a round base whose front edge reads THE MANDRAKE, while the top carries a line describing the plant as a restorative used to return those who have been petrified to their original state. It measures 18cm tall, 15cm wide and 11cm deep.
At 18cm tall, it is a comfortable size for a bookshelf, a desk or a mantelpiece, where the gold catches the lamplight and the twisting leaves give it a lively outline from every side. It looks at home beside a row of well-read books, on a study shelf or on a dressing table as a small conversation piece. The base is flat and wide, so the figurine stands on its own with no fixing needed and moves easily from room to room. Its gold finish sits well with brass, wood and green houseplants, so it blends into most indoor settings.
The figurine is made from resin, also known as polystone, which holds fine detail well: the wrinkled roots, the veins on each leaf and the lettering around the base all stand out crisply under the gold. The colour runs over the whole piece, from the leaf tips to the foot of the base. To keep it looking its best, dust it with a soft dry cloth, using a soft brush to reach between the stalks and leaves, and handle it by the base rather than the leaves. Set it among potted plants for a playful nod to the greenhouse, or wrap it as a gift that will raise a smile when the paper comes off.
