Making and materials of the Ostheimer rhinoceros

The figures are traditionally handcrafted according to set patterns, with each piece remaining unique. The saliva-safe paints are harmless to health, free from animal ingredients and precisely matched to the classic Ostheimer design. The natural water-based wood stains leave the wood grain visible and give each piece its uniqueness. To protect the colors, it is then treated with organic oil. The wood used comes from sustainably managed forests, where the conservation of natural resources is a top priority.

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