Product details
Mother of the Gyre is a spiral face plant pot and African head planter: a cast stone head with coiled hair buns, painted spirals across the face and gold accents, all finished by hand in black and gold. Art for a shelf or windowsill, with an opening for succulents, trailing plants or dried stems. One of our head and face planters.
Planting
The top opening suits succulents, trailing plants, dried stems or faux greenery.
Made to order
Made to order and finished by hand in Cumbria, UK, so each piece varies a little from the photographs. The dispatch time and delivery to your country are shown near the top of this page, beside the price.
As a gift

Care
Wipe clean with a soft, damp cloth and avoid harsh chemicals and pressure washing. If it lives outside, bring it in or cover it in harsh weather to protect the painted finish.
