Thanks to the transparent colors, the wood grain remains visible, making each piece unique. Each figurine is made according to a sophisticated design with skilled craftsmanship, so that the natural wood is shown to its best advantage. The use of wood from sustainable forestry ensures a balance between resource use and conservation.

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