Willow Tree Keepsake hand-painted resin figure, 5.5" standing sculpture with gold-leaf heart — gift-ready boxed keepsake

Willow Tree Keepsake is a 5.5-inch hand-painted resin figure by Susan Lordi, a sculpted standing portrayal holding a gold-leaf heart meant to symbolize love, comfort, and remembrance.

This finely detailed figurine combines simple, heartfelt design with artisan craftsmanship. Each Willow Tree Keepsake is cast from an original hand-carved model by artist Susan Lordi in Kansas City, then hand-painted to preserve the delicate texture and muted palette the line is known for. The sculpted figure arrives in a fitted box with an enclosure card expressing a short, thoughtful sentiment to accompany the gift—making it ready for giving or for display on a shelf, mantel, or tabletop.

What makes this Willow Tree sculpture special?

The Keepsake stands out because it starts as a hand-carved original by Susan Lordi, preserving the artist’s personal touch in every reproduction. Hand-painting and a subtle gold-leaf accent on the heart add visual warmth and a refined finish that machine production alone cannot achieve.

How should I care for and display the Willow Tree Keepsake?
