Terracotta Squirrel Watering Spike

Recalling medieval carvings within Lincoln Cathedral’s choir stalls, this terracotta squirrel-shaped garden watering spike offers a slow-release of water into the soil. Medieval craftsmen often incorporated animal motifs into ecclesiastical woodwork, blending symbolism with whimsy. The squirrel, emblematic of resourcefulness, adds a touch of historical character to the garden, while terracotta connects this piece to centuries-old traditions in European pottery and horticultural craft. A thoughtful, quietly distinctive gift for gardeners who delight in both history and the pleasures of tending their plants.
