Description
This cheeky wooden plaque is cut to the outline of a cartoon cow, caught mid-moo with wide eyes, a big pink nose and an open-mouthed grin. Her white coat is dotted with dark patches, her ears are tinged with soft brown and two grey horns curl above a russet tuft of hair. She stands on a white block base fronted by a raised orange panel that reads "Silly Cow" in a relaxed hand-lettered script. The whole piece is 13.8cm tall, 8.5cm wide and 2.6cm deep, small enough for a crowded shelf yet bold enough to raise a smile from across the room.
As a standing plaque it needs no nails or hooks: set it on a bookshelf, a windowsill, a desk or a kitchen dresser and it holds its place on its own flat base. It suits a farmhouse-style kitchen, a home office that could do with a lighter note, or a bedroom shelf of favourite bits and pieces. It also makes a light-hearted gift for anyone who loves cows, farmyard humour or a bit of friendly teasing, and its small size means it tucks easily into a gift bag alongside a card.
The cow is printed on a shaped wooden cut-out that slots into a groove along the top of the base, and the back of both is left plain off-white, so it looks tidy from any angle on an open shelf. The name panel is a separate raised piece set onto the front of the block, which gives the lettering a little depth. Care is simple: dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth and keep it away from damp, as you would any wooden decoration. Stand her beside a pot of herbs or a stack of cookbooks and she will happily keep an eye on things.

Frequently Asked
How big is the Silly Cow plaque?
It stands 13.8cm tall, 8.5cm wide and 2.6cm deep. That compact size fits easily on a narrow shelf, a desk or a windowsill.
What is the plaque made of?
It is made of wood. The cartoon cow is printed on a shaped wooden cut-out that sits in a white wooden block base with an orange name panel.
Does it hang on the wall or stand up?
It is a standing plaque. The flat block base lets it stand on its own on a shelf, mantelpiece, desk or windowsill with no fixings needed.
What does the back of the plaque look like?
The back of the cow and the base is plain off-white with no print, so it still looks neat where the back can be seen.
How do I look after it?
Dust it gently with a soft dry cloth from time to time and keep it out of damp spots. That is good practice for any wooden decoration.
