Gothic Bat Decorative Sign & Plaque Halloween Bat Metal Tin Sign

Lit from inside the ribcage.

A bat hangs centred with its wings fully open, and the membranes are the point: pale at the edges, shading through pink and orange into violet, with dark veining spread across them like lead in a window. The body is small and dark-furred with tall purple-lined ears, round yellow eyes and a set of visible teeth. A round amber light glows at its chest.

Behind it sits an autumn wood at sunset, bare trunks in silhouette against a violet-blue sky, with three more bats away in the distance. Ivy and leaves grow around all four sides of the panel and over the corners. It is the most colourful sign in this batch by a wide margin. The stained-glass wing effect and the ivy frame are printed onto a flat sheet.

Bright enough for a child's room or a stairwell, and not gruesome, so it holds up long after October. A good gift for a bat person, the kind who knows which species roost locally and will tell you about it.
