Full description
This swedish style tomte has been needle felted using woollen fibres and a barbed felting needle to sculpt it into scape. He has a brown body, a bright pink hat and a bulbous flesh coloured nose. A white curly beard has been added and two flowers made using antique brass effect petals with pink beaded centres have been added to his hat.
The tomte stands approximately 14cm (5.5") high
Originating in Scandanavia, the tomte (swedish), nisse (danish/norwegian) or tonttu (finnish) is a mythological creature from Nordic folklore. Similar to a gnome in appearance, according to legend they will protect the family and animals from evil and misfortune although if insulted they may play tricks or steal items! Nowadays, they are usually associated with the winter solstice and the Christmas season but are loved and displayed all year round.
Other variations available as separate listings in my shop.
Please note: this is a decoration/collectors item and is not intended as a toy. It may contain loose woollen fibres and small parts that could present a choking risk to a young child.
