Wool felt penguin figurine, 8 cm, handmade in Kyrgyzstan by TUMAR
This little penguin figurine is about 8 cm tall and is entirely felted and assembled by hand in Kyrgyzstan by TUMAR, a felt workshop founded in Bishkek in 1998 that now employs around 200 women artisans. Wet felting is a traditional nomadic craft in Central Asia: Kyrgyz felt rugs, ala-kiyiz and shyrdak, have been included on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list since 2012. Lightweight and stuffed, this figurine is a fun, original accessory for your pet.
