Field Notes
9.5cm resin casting of a Baphomet head, black finish, red-pentagram detail. Produced by Nemesis Now, the established gothic and occult decor brand. Small enough for shelf display or cabinet placement; ready-cast on arrival.
The listing does not specify whether the red pentagram is molded into the resin or applied as a paint finish, so if surface durability matters to your collection, confirm with the seller before ordering. At 9.5cm it's a palm-sized portrait, which keeps it in ornament territory rather than altar centerpiece. The black finish does most of the work, and the red accent gives the eye one place to land. The Nemesis Now name in the title tells you the maker, which matters if you already collect the brand, though the listing says nothing more about the line.
Its size is the useful constraint. A nine-and-a-half-centimeter casting can join a tree or a narrow shelf without forcing the entire room to follow its theme. If you are hanging it, check how the loop or attachment is formed in the product photos and choose a hook that supports the weight of resin. The name calls it an ornament, but the black-and-red portrait has enough definition to live outside holiday storage. On a dark tree it may need a bright neighboring bauble to keep the silhouette from disappearing. On a pale wall or in front of book spines, it has the opposite problem: the head will be impossible to miss. The red pentagram is the single accent, so let that detail remain the point of the piece.
Where it lives
Hang it from a hook on a bedroom wall, a curtain rod finial, or a black wire tree, or let it lie on a shelf beside books. On a holiday tree it's the obvious move, and a good one: put it among pink glass baubles and silver tinsel so the black head looks like a gate-crasher. Year-round, pair it with chrome and one hot pink object, a lipstick-pink candle, a pink resin skull, so it reads deliberate rather than Halloween leftover.
Who it’s for
For Nemesis Now collectors, anyone building a dark holiday tree, and occult-leaning friends who'd like a small token rather than a big statement statue. At ornament scale it's an easy gift. Pass if you want a large display bust or something heavy and substantial, since 9.5cm is small. Also pass if pentagram imagery would cause friction at home, or if you need confirmation that the red detail won't chip.
Before you buy
What to confirm on the current listing before it goes in the cart.
- Remember the scale: 9.5cm is palm-sized, so check photos against a hand before expecting a statement piece.
- Confirm what hanging loop or cord is included in the listing.
- If the pentagram is painted, handle it gently and dust with a soft dry brush rather than a cloth.
- Keep resin away from direct heat sources such as radiators or lamp bulbs.
