A representative of Arild 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.
Arild comes with a "Folklore of the Nisse" story tag, and a solid pine seat.

Arild loves to see the cold weather approaching. Now he has the perfect excuse to spend more time hiking through the forest, collecting the firewood needed to keep his cozy little home warm for the winter.
Arild's tunic is yarn-dyed cotton flannel. His bright green sleeves are cotton. His hat, which is topped with an organic cotton yarn tassel, is organic cotton fleece. His legs are cotton velveteen. Arild's boots are ultrasuede. A brass key hangs from his ultrasuede belt.
From one arm, Arild holds an ultrasuede firewood tote. It is filled with kindling - red twig dogwood and bayberry. (Please note that all natural materials such as cones, bark or sticks, are high-heat dried prior to use)
Arild's face is bamboo felt. We sew his beard from natural flax fiber (blondish-grey in color).
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.
Arild 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.
