White Stapler Mouse from Rev. Ross McClellan

Object/Artifact

-

St. Joseph Museums

The image shows a small, stylized figurine shaped like a mouse, featuring a smooth, elongated body painted white, with small red fabric ears that protrude outward. The face of the mouse is adorned with simple yet expressive features, including two red circular dots above a single, larger red dot near the nose area, giving it an animated and whimsical appearance. Black lines further characterize the mouse’s facial expression, adding depth to its otherwise minimalist aesthetic. This mouse sculpture rests atop a sleek, rectangular black platform, which serves as its stand. Below the figurine, there appears to be a silver metal clip or clasp, possibly intended for securing the sculpture or serving as an additional design element. The base contrasts with the white body of the mouse, making it stand out prominently against the soft, textured background of the photograph. The background, though largely out of focus, consists of a light, somewhat speckled surface, enhancing the foreground's vibrant details.
