Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer horse

The use of wood from sustainable forestry ensures a balance between resource use and conservation. The transparent colors applied by hand allow the wood structure to come into its own, giving each piece its individual character. Organic oil protects the colors. The saliva-safe and non-hazardous paints are free from animal products and precisely matched to support Ostheimer's unique design. The figures are carefully handcrafted according to a tried and tested pattern, with the natural wood always taking center stage.

Warning: Warning! Not suitable for children under 3 years of age, as small parts can be detached or broken off and swallowed.
