Willow Tree Starlight Tree Topper — 12-inch Hand-Painted Resin Figure with Glittered Metal Star, Hollow Base

Willow Tree Starlight Tree Topper is a 12-inch hand-painted resin figure by artist Susan Lordi, designed to sit on the top branch and hold a glittered pierced metal star that catches holiday lights.

This sculpted tree topper combines Willow Tree’s signature hand-carved style with a sparkling metal star to create a subtle, elegant finishing touch for a Christmas tree. The two-piece resin figure is hollowed to fit securely over the center top branch; the metal star is pierced and dusted with glitter so it reflects light from multiple angles. Packaged in a fitted gift box and carrying the sentiment “Radiating warmth, light and love” on its enclosure card, this topper is meant to convey emotion through simple gesture rather than words.

How will this topper fit on my tree?

The Starlight Tree Topper is designed with a hollow base so it easily slides over the topmost center branch of most artificial and real trees. Because the figure is two pieces, it balances around the branch and presents the star forward for visibility. The lightweight resin keeps the topper from overwhelming thinner tree tips.

• 12-inch overall height for medium to large trees
• Hollow interior fits standard center top branches
• Two-piece assembly helps balance on tapered or uneven tops
• Lightweight resin reduces tilt and sag

What materials and finish does the sculpture use?

The figure is cast in hand-painted resin from Susan Lordi’s original carving, with a pierced metal star encrusted in glitter for reflective detail. The surface shows subtle brush texture and muted tones typical of Willow Tree pieces, giving the piece a handcrafted aesthetic without fragile carved wood.

• Hand-painted resin body based on original hand carving
• Pierced metal star finished with shimmering glitter
• Neutral cream dress tones that coordinate with many tree themes
• Durable materials suitable for seasonal display year after year

How does this topper express meaning or sentiment?

Rather than using facial features or words carved into the figure, Willow Tree sculptures communicate emotion through posture and gesture. This topper’s upward-facing stance and cradled star are crafted to suggest warmth, light and love—phrases echoed on the included enclosure card—making it a thoughtful holiday accent or gift.

• Gesture-focused design conveys emotion without text on the piece
• Enclosure card reads “Radiating warmth, light and love” for gifting
• Artist-designed to pair with other Willow Tree figures and décor
• Packaged in a fitted box ready for presentation
