Enchanting Black Cat on a Crescent Moon Metal Sign

Blue cabochons at the compass points.

A black cat sits upright inside the hook of a silver crescent, tail curled around its front paws, yellow-green eyes looking straight out at you. Behind it the sky runs from soft blue at the top through lilac to warm peach, with a few thin four-pointed stars and a bank of cloud low on the right.

The crescent is heavily worked with moon-phase discs, small suns and coiled scrollwork, and the outer ring carries pierced curls, beading, and four blue glass cabochons set at top, bottom, left and right. It looks like an old silver shield. It is a flat printed circle, light enough for a picture hook.

It hangs well in a bedroom, a nursery, or over a small altar shelf, where the pastel sky keeps everything soft. Nothing about it is tied to a season, so it can stay up year round. An easy gift for a cat person who leans mystical rather than spooky, and a safe choice when you do not know which colors they live with.
