Manufacture and materials of the Ostheimer lion

Handcrafted according to a set pattern, the precise manual work brings out the uniqueness and naturalness of the wood. Wood from certified, sustainable European forestry stands for an environmentally conscious and future-proof approach. All colours are of non-animal origin and perfectly match the characteristic Ostheimer design. The finely coordinated, saliva-resistant colours emphasise the natural wood structure and make each piece truly unique. Finally, an organic oil protects the colour layer.

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