Object/Artifact

St. Joseph Museums

The image depicts a small, intricately detailed figurine of a mouse wearing academic regalia, including a graduation cap and gown in shades of white and cream, standing on a patch of bright green grass. The mouse appears to be holding a diploma, which is rolled up and tied with a ribbon, displaying colored stripes in blue, red, and orange. Its expression is cheerful and welcoming, with finely painted features, including small black eyes and a slightly upturned nose. The figurine's base, a textured green mound, offers subtle contrast against the smooth surface it rests on, suggesting it is part of a collection or decorative scene, designed to celebrate scholarly achievements with whimsy and charm.
