Woolly little darlings adorned with tiny bells tied lovingly about their necks, this twosome is sure to steal your heart. Created lovingly in the likeness of their ancestors, these sweet-faced fellows will surely be mistaken for vintage. Collectible Putz sheep, called matchstick sheep because their legs resembled burnt matches, got their name from the German verb "putzen"which means "to decorate". They were used to adorn nativity scenes and kept faithful watch over the Christ child's crib. L: 4in W: 1.50in H: 5in Material:Cotton, Wood. Limited Quantities Show more
