Hansa - Puppet Elephant

Hansa - Puppet Elephant Specifications: Length: 27 cm Width: 24 cm Height: 21 cm Recommended Age Group: Hansa animals are recommended for children aged 3 and up, in compliance with ASTM93 safety standards. Portraits in Nature: This is a collection of hand-crafted, realistic plush animals. Each Hansa animal is created by artists in a socially and environmentally responsible studio, based on portraits of the creature in its natural habitat. The Hansa Story: Artisans sew the animals “inside out”, a traditional method that minimizes seams. The bodies of the animals are carefully sculpted to create unique features, such as musculature and movement, whether in a walking or sitting position. On average, 42 separate pieces are required to make each animal. These pieces are combined by a team of creative artists to create the distinctly realistic features that characterize Hansa animals. Some animals require as many as 240 different parts. Each animal is individually hand-sewn, giving it a unique personality. More than 860 different fabrics and man-made furs are used to create the coats and hides of these plush animals, along with over 6000 sets of different eyes, whiskers, claws, noses, and related accessories. The stuffing process emphasizes careful attention to the placement of the highest quality man-made materials. When you hold these lifelike animals, you will see and feel Hansa’s emphasis on quality, which is a result of careful attention to design, custom fabric selection, cutting, sewing, stuffing, eye placement, feature creation, framing, air brushing, and finishing. Since each animal is hand-sewn, there will be slight variations in appearance.
