A representative of Alf is shown in the photo above. We use no molds for our figures. We handsculpt each face, one at a time, which means each face is slightly different and will not look exactly like the face in the photo. This is what makes each handmade doll unique.
Alf comes with a "Folklore of the Nisse" story tag, and a solid pine seat.

Alf is ready for the holidays! What wonderful little gifts has he hidden in his festive Christmas sack?
Alf's tunic and legs are cotton velveteen. His sleeves are yarn dyed cotton. His hat, which is topped with an organic cotton yarn tassel, is cotton knit. Alf's boots are ultrasuede. A brass key hangs from his ultrasuede belt. He is covered with hand-stitched patches.
Alf's sack is made from a beautifully woven colorgrown organic cotton fabric. Colorgrown in the USA, organic, and undyed, this fabric is 100% natural. It is embellished with organic cotton ric-rac and glass beads, and is filled with Maine balsam.
Alf's face is bamboo felt. We sew his beard from natural, creamy-white hemp fiber.
His blue eyes are handblown and hand-painted German glass. He is stuffed with a combination of glass pellets and organic cotton stuffing. His arms are wired. Unlike his larger cousins, his head does not turn.
Alf comes with a solid pine seat. He is 9" tall (8" when seated), as measured from the top of his head (not the top of his hat) to the bottom of his boots. (View here the design details for the small nisse, as well as a size comparison to the large nisse)
All of our dolls are 100% vegan.
