Countryside Elves - The Farming Elf -22cm
Hand painted, rustic magical elves made from cold cast weather proof resin.

As with fairies, elves eventually developed a reputation for pranks and mischief, and strange daily occurrences were often attributed to them.
Perfect additions to your home, garden or fairy garden!

Hand painted, rustic magical elves made from cold cast weather proof resin.
Like fairies, elves were said to be diminutive shape-shifters. (Shakespeare's elves were tiny, winged creatures that lived in, and playfully flitted around, flowers.) English male elves were described as looking like little old men, though elf maidens were invariably young and beautiful.
Like men of the time, elves lived in kingdoms found in forests, meadows, or hollowed-out tree trunks.
