Description

Our Vesla ornament is a grey terracotta head, modelled with closed eyes beneath arched brows, a long nose, full lips and ears that stand out at each side, all resting on a short, flared neck. It measures 17cm long, 15cm wide and 16cm tall, a compact size that sits comfortably on a shelf or mantelpiece without crowding its neighbours. At 0.78KG it has real heft for its size, so it stays steady where you place it. Terracotta is fired clay, a material sculptors have trusted for modelled faces since ancient times, and here it gives the piece a soft, earthy character.

It suits anyone who likes a little character among their books and plants. Set it on a bookcase, a deep window sill, a console table or a desk, where the calm, sleepy expression gives an arrangement a quiet focal point. It sits well in a living room, a hallway, a bedroom or a study, and it makes a thoughtful gift for a friend who collects ceramics or sculpture. It is purely decorative, so it earns its place by presence alone, and it pairs naturally with vases, candleholders and other small objects in similarly muted, earthy tones.

It is made entirely of terracotta, and its grey surface carries darker shading and fine marks that bring out the modelling of the brows, nose and lips. Because the features are sculpted in relief, light from a nearby window picks out shadows beneath the brows and beside the nose, so the face looks a little different from morning to evening. The neck widens into a flat, steady base. The styling props shown are not included. For styling, group it with two or three objects of differing heights, place the head near eye level on a shelf so its face looks out into the room, and leave a little space either side so the ears read clearly.
