This is our Loch Maree Monster, inspired by tales of the 'Muc-sheilch' or 'Turtle-Pig' monster said to live in Loch Maree, a large freshwater loch in Wester Ross in the Northwest Highlands of Scotland. The form our Wooden Toy Figure takes is as a Green Plesiosaur Dinosaur type. All our Loch Monsters can be played with in a variety of ways and by offering variations a child can choose its favourite kind to be 'Nessie' or we hope inspired to hear about all the different Loch Monsters Scotland has to offer.
We also make this Plesiosaur form in blue as Nessie the Loch Ness monster and have a Green Sea Serpent type monster as Morag the Loch Morar Monster, listed separately but shown in the last few images above. Morag and Maree are similar in colour but Maree is actually a slightly lighter more yellow shade of green.
Our Plesiosaur style Loch Monster is made from Lime wood and measures approximately 20.5cm long by 12cm high and 2.8cm thick. Like all our products it is cut out then hand carved and painted so each is slightly individual in character and therefore will slightly differ from the product images. Please bear in mind you are purchasing a hand crafted item and minor manufacturing marks, carving misshaps or paint errors are not seen as flaws but as enhancing each items individual character.
It can be wiped clean using a slightly damp lint free cloth and we recommend refinishing occasionally with a child safe EN71-3 certified clear wax or other sealer to extend its protection. We make and test our products to be UKCA conformant for those aged 3 years and over who no longer mouth toys due to the risk of small parts forming if broken and our base wood not being tested.
The price is for one individual figure as described.
Warning: small parts choking hazard not suitable for under 36months!
