Squirrel Tipping a Mushroom Over Resin Figurine - Brown & Red

This resin figurine shows a squirrel tipping a mushroom over, its front paws pressed against the red cap as the whole toadstool leans under its weight. The squirrel is a warm, mottled brown, with a big plumed tail curled up over its back, small rounded ears, dark eyes and fur marked out in fine lines across its body and legs. Beneath it, the mushroom has a cream stem with fine ridges under the cap and a rich red cap dotted with white spots. Each one is hand painted, giving the fur its soft shading. It stands 13.5cm tall, 7.2cm wide and 9.8cm deep.

At 13.5cm tall it is a small piece that sits on a bookshelf, a mantelpiece, a windowsill or a side table, where its playful scene catches the eye without crowding the space. It suits a country kitchen dresser, a cosy living room or a hallway shelf, and it brings a woodland feel indoors all year round, with autumn colours that look especially at home as the leaves turn. Group it with other woodland animals, a few pine cones or a stack of books for a seasonal shelf, or let it stand alone on a narrow ledge.

The figurine is made from polyresin and finished by hand in shades of brown, red and cream, with the texture of the fur, the tail and the gills under the cap picked out in paint. It rests on the side of the mushroom's cap and the end of its stem, so it stands on its own and needs no fixing or wall space. Dust it with a soft dry cloth, or wipe it with a damp cloth and let it dry. Wrapped in tissue, it makes a cheerful little gift, and it is just as happy on your own shelf, bringing a touch of humour to a quiet corner.
