Tomte with French Horn (2016)

It is said every home and farm has its own tomte, a good-natured little elf who has lived there for generations. He/She is a friend to the animals and tends to all that needs looking after. All that is asked in return is a bowl of Christmas porridge with butter and woe to those who forget!

Each tomte is handmade of wood and decorated with knitted sweaters, paint, and bits of fabric. From Ljungströms, Alsea, Småland, Sweden. Approximately 7" tall.
