Resting Cow and Chickens Resin Figurine - White & Black

This resin figurine of a resting cow keeps two chickens for company, with a cockerel perched proudly on her back and a little hen tucked in at her side. The cow lies with her legs folded and her head lowered over her front hooves, in creamy white with bold black patches across her back, flank and ears. A soft pink nose, a tousled brown tuft between the ears and dark brown hooves give her plenty of character. The cockerel wears a bright red comb with golden feathers and a black tail, and the hen sits in pale cream and buttery yellow with her own red comb. At 12.4cm tall, 10.6cm wide and 21.3cm deep, she sits long and low, so she fits a bookshelf without crowding it.

We like her best wherever a farmhouse feel suits: a kitchen dresser, a mantelpiece, a deep windowsill or a side table in the sitting room. Because she lies flat on her body and folded legs, she rests steadily on any level surface with no stand or fixing needed. Set her beside stoneware jugs, a few stems of dried flowers or a stack of cookery books for an easy country corner, or let her bring a smile to a hallway console.

The figurine is made from resin, which holds every detail of the faceted surface, from the ruffled feathers to the cow's curled ears, and each part is picked out in its own colour so the animals stand clear of one another. The chickens are small details, so lift her by the body rather than by the birds. To keep her fresh, dust with a soft dry cloth, or wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth and dry straight away. She is a decorative piece rather than a plaything, and makes a cheerful little gift as readily as a treat for your own shelves.
