Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer elephant

Each shade of color is precisely matched to preserve the unmistakable Ostheimer design. Finally, oil is used to protect the colors. The paints are of course free from animal ingredients. Transparent colors allow the unique wood grain to shine through and give each piece its individual character.
