Red and White Flocked Mouse Ornament from Rev. Ross McClellan

Object/Artifact

-

St. Joseph Museums

The image depicts a charming handmade ornament resembling a mouse, crafted with a plush, fuzzy texture on its circular head and prominent rounded ears that add a touch of cuteness. It sports a red cap perched jauntily on its head, complementing its matching red overalls, which are accessorized with a small button. The mouse's face is endearingly simple, featuring two black beads for eyes, a red bead for a nose, and delicate black lines depicting whimsical whiskers that give it a lively expression. Adding to its festive appearance, a red and white ribbon is jauntily tied around its neck, resembling a scarf while a thin golden string extends from its head, indicating it's meant to be hung, possibly as a Christmas ornament. Its tail, also red and curly, extends gracefully from its body, adding to its playful character.
