wild dog christmas decoration

a small hand-sculpted african wild dog, made to hang at christmas. each one is shaped and painted by hand at our community studio in the drakensberg, kwazulu-natal, then dressed in a tiny hand-knitted scarf or hat and finished with a ribbon for hanging.

hang it on the christmas tree, tie it onto a wreath, or hang a few together above the tree or the christmas table. after december it can stay up all year as a hanging sculpture.

choose your design

• scarf: a tiny hand-knitted scarf
• hat: a tiny hand-knitted christmas hat

every decoration sends r30 to the african pangolin working group, helping protect endangered wildlife and the habitats they call home.

because every piece is made by hand, no two wild dogs are exactly alike. the markings and pose of yours will be slightly different from the one in the photos.

care
dust gently with a soft dry cloth. this is a decorative piece, not a toy, so keep it out of reach of small children and pets.
