Val Mountain Gorilla Dandy one of the women workingVal Mountain Gorilla is 100% organic merino wool, naturally dyed in a bath of cochineal extract. Be sure to see Vivi her cousin! Because each piece is individually handcrafted, there will be variances in proportions and facial features between each sculpture. Not intended for children.
