Description

This family of cats belongs to the so-called ring-turned animaly. They are original Erzgebirge folk art as known from the world-famous Striezelmarkt in Dresden. The figurines are manufactured in one of the most demanding and fascinating processing techniques of wood art. A fresh piece of spruce wood is set in rotation and processed by hand with various turning tools. Then small slices are cut off - the small animal figures come out. In the end, they will be reworked with a carving knife and painted. So every animal is one One of a kind!
