This is a real quality item. It's made of felt with a silky tassel that has a small ring inside to hold it on should someone inadvertently pick it up by the tassel. It's well made and good value for money.
The top of the mortar board measures 2" square and the diameter of the 'hat' is 1 and a half inches, so that gives you an idea of the size critter you could use it for but personally I think the owl is perfect and would make a super cute graduation gift.
