Our Woman carrying Creel wooden figure brings Scottish History to small world play scenes and stories.  People would use heavy laden creels to carry heavy loads of fish, seaweed and peat from shore and moor to home, or out selling fish door to door in towns.  This was hard work and we wished it to be represented in our range of Scottish wooden toys.
 
The Creel carrying figure wears long dark blue skirts, with a red, yellow and brown striped apron, muted purple headscarf, grey jumper and a green tartan shawl.  We were inspired by various historic images of woman working and carrying creels and a love of Scottish textiles.
 
Made of Lime Wood this figure measures approximately 6cm long, 12.5cm high and 2.8cm in width across the front.
 
Like our other wooden toy figures it has been cut out before hand carving to shape then hand sanding, painting and sealing. This makes each piece a little unique in form and feel and the item received will differ slightly from the images shown. Please bear this in mind that you are purchasing a handcrafted item and that minor manufacturing marks, paint errors or carving mishaps are not seen as flaws but as enhancing each figures unique character.
 
Our wooden toys can be gently wiped clean using a slightly damp lint free cloth and we recommend in the future refinishing the figure with a suitable child safe EN71-3 certified natural clear wax or sealer to further extend its protection for longevity. We make and test our toy figures to be UKCA conformant for those aged 3 and over who no longer mouth their toys, this is due to our base wood not being chemically tested, the small size of some of our figures and the risk of small parts forming if broken. All the stains, paints and sealers we use are EN71-3 certified as child safe.
 
The price is for one figure only.
