Luelle Resin Ornament - White

This white resin ornament is a sculpted head: an oval face with a strong brow line, a long wedge of a nose and no mouth, set on a tall neck that widens towards its base. At each ear hangs a coiled hoop earring, a loop above running into a double ring, and those earrings are the detail that gives the face its character. It is made of 100% polyresin, measures 17cm long, 14cm wide and 24.5cm tall, and weighs 0.77KG. That is a good height for a shelf or the top of a stack of books: large enough to hold its own from across a room, yet small enough to sit among other pieces.

It suits a bookcase, a mantelpiece, a sideboard or the corner of a desk, anywhere a run of books or ceramics would benefit from a face. The plain white lets it sit easily against dark wood or painted shelving, and the side profile is as interesting as the front, so it works turned slightly as well as facing the room. It makes a thoughtful gift for someone who likes sculptural pieces, or for a new home where the shelves still look bare. In a living room, a hallway or a study it gives a grouping a focal point without crowding it.

Its surface is broken into small flat facets, so light falls across it in soft planes instead of one even sweep, and the earrings carry the same texture. Polyresin takes fine detail well, which is why the coiled hoops and the sharp ridge of the nose read so clearly. It is a decorative piece, made for display. For styling, try it in a small group with a vase and a plant, or set it on a pile of books for extra height, and place it against a darker background, where its facets show best.
