Description
This slate hanging heart plaque carries a watercolour-style portrait of a Highland cow, its long red-ginger fringe falling over one eye and its pale horns curving up towards the top of the heart. The background is a clean white, scattered with little dots of red and blue paint, so the cow's warm russet coat really stands out. A small tag hangs from the cord at one shoulder of the heart, printed with the words HOME IS WHERE THE HERD IS. The heart measures 14.5cm and is 2.7cm deep, with the rough edge of the slate left showing around its outline.
It hangs from a loop of cord threaded through two holes near the top, so it needs only a hook, a nail or a cupboard knob. At 14.5cm it suits small spaces well: beside the back door, on a kitchen dresser, in a hallway by the coat pegs or on the wall of a cosy snug. Its farmhouse feel sits happily with painted wood, stoneware and checked fabrics, and the herd pun brings a smile to anyone passing. Hang it with two or three small pieces for a little country wall, or let the cow sit on its own where it will be noticed.
The front carries the print on a white ground, and the back is white too, so it still looks neat if it turns on its cord. Hang it from a secure hook and keep it indoors, away from steam and damp. For care, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it gently with a barely damp cloth and let it dry fully. Wrapped in tissue with a handwritten card, it makes a cheerful little gift, and once hung it brings a touch of the countryside to any wall.
