Polepole (poh-leh poh-leh) meaning slowly, slowly in Swahili describes how these are made. Each animal is hand carved from a soft light wood called Albizia and then hand-painted with the trademark style using matt black water-based paint by T-lab. Due to the handmade process of carving and painting, each animal is slightly different.
T-Lab preserves the forests of Albizia Falcata which have a very rapid natural growth, committing to replanting the trees that serve its production. It has no chemical or pollutant treatment in the wood or in the paint used.
- Approx. 9.5 x 3.5 x7.2 cm
- Made of Albizia Falcata Wood
- Designed in Japan
- Made in Bali, Indonesia
- Please note for decorative use only
- Not suitable as teething toys
