This hand felted gnome ornament is Salem of the Veil. Salem represents all the witches that were killed in the name of Puritan Values.  Salem will guide us through the veil to meet those who have gone before us.  Salem has a thread for hanging and a small wood disk so that he can stand on your desk or book shelf.  Salem travels with a little silver cat tucked into his deep red hat. This gnome/tomte/troll/elf doll is perfect for your bookshelf or mantle and would make an incredible gift for your friends, family, or yourself.
 
Salem gnome/troll/elf:
He stands about 6.5 inches (16.5 cm) tall and 3.75 inches (9 cm) around the base.  He sits on a 1 inch (2.5 cm) wooden disk to allow free standing.
He has little flesh coloured cheeks and nose under all those locks.
His hat is a blend of deep red merino and black bamboo fibre with Angelina fibre for sparkle.
He is lightweight and soft to the touch.
His beard and hair is made from hand dyed Wensleydale  locks that have been hand scoured by me using ecologically friendly and biodegradable soap.  Care has been taken to use wool raised in the UK.
