Belfast Zoo Elephant

Belfast Zoo Elephant

£17.00

9 x 7 cm

Luxury artisan ornaments created from a source of recycled, sustainable Irish Linen. We use a mixture of vintage, local mill headstock rolls from one of the last remaining linen mills still active in Ireland today, repurposed antique tablecloths, and off cuts from our own cushion making.

We love our designs and hope you do too- all our embroidered ornaments are fully copyrighted internationally to Katie Larmour.

Not your typical indigenous animal associated with Belfast, however, there is much fondness here for creature, whether listening to stories by my grandmother from WWII of baby Sheila housed at Belfast Zoo who was astonishingly brought home during the ‘Belfast Blitz’ bombing to safely reside in the back yard of an employee, Tina, a more recent inhabitant of the zoo who I got the look after for the day whilst filming for Northern Visions Community Television back in the early 2000s or the exotic interior features of Belfast’s magical Grand Opera House where the woman in my family huddle together in a box for a special ballet performance once a year as a treat, gazing at awe during the breaks at the majestic sculpted Indian elephant heads.

Condition: A portion of our beading may also be reclaimed and might show signs of wear.

Care: Decoration only. Even though they look yummy do not eat. Not a toy. Do not place near a naked flame.
