Pussycat Fishing Ornament

Made exclusively for the Morgan Library & Museum, this ornament is inspired by one of Beatrix Potter’s picture letters housed in our collections. The letter features an illustration by Beatrix Potter of the famous story of Owl & the Pussycat by Edward Lear. This adorable ornament is perfect for year-round decor and an excellent gift for Potter fans and cat-lovers alike.

Handmade using gourds, this ornament is extremely detailed with carved textures for fur, colorful painting (with shiny fish!) and 3-D embellishments. The purchase of this item creates living wage jobs in Colombia and helps sustain and revitalize indigenous knowledge and traditions.
