Meet Pablo the floppy-eared Anglo-Nubian! This beautifully marked goat plushie stands about 30 cm tall. It has golden slit-pupil eyes and is made from creamy white fur with a brown spotted pattern. It is made in a lifelike style and features many realistic details. The muzzle, for example, has a v-shaped nose and a slightly opened mouth with a little tongue, that can be tucked away inside it. The feet are just as intricately made, sporting actual cloven hooves and petite dew claws. Every single one of these tiny details has been assembled by hand. This highly decorative plushie has a total piece count of 78 handsewn pieces. It is made from cow-print fur with randomly placed spots, and offers a cheaper alternative to sewn markings.
The forerunners of this popular British breed first began appearing in the 19th century, around English port cities with ties to the Eastern trade route. Back then trading ships would travel for many months to reach foreign ports. They carried goats as part of their fresh food supply, and would sell off their surplus bucks to local goat keepers at the end of each journey. The goats that were brought back from the Eastern trade route were collectively referred to as ”Nubians”. When bred with the local goats in England, they would often pass on Nubian traits, such as a larger body size, short silky fur, lop ears and a roman nose. By 1893 these crosses were being referred to as Anglo-Nubian goats. The breed was formaly established in the following years by Sam Woodiwiss. The Anglo-Nubian goat is a large dual purpose breed. It is known to be very vocal, and comes in a wide range of colors and patterns.
This highly collectible plushie is ready to be shipped. It has been made in an environment free of cigarette smoke and perfume, but not entierly pet free, as I have cats. As with all the items in my store, this plushie was originally designed and created by me. A lot of time and effort goes into making a detailed plushie like this. Particularly into the muzzle and feet, which contain tiny parts that are notoriously hard to assemble.
The entire body is made from flat pile faux fur, with a pile length of about 5 mm and a cow print pattern. The nose and feet are made from faux suede, a fabric that looks and feels like brushed leather. The tongue is made from microfiber cloth. The plushie has been fitted with plastic safety eyes, that are fastened with washers and measure 15 mm across. Imitate leather has been used to outline the eyes to improve their shape and look. The plushie has been stuffed firmly with siliconized polyester fibers. Thread sculpting has been added to better define the belly area and curvature of the neck.
This artist made plushie is intended for use by teenagers or adults. It is incredibly rare and highly collectible, as it has only been created once up to this point. It is best used for indoors decoration purposes and/or as a photo prop. The quality of the plushie is such, that it is unlikely to break from gentle play or the occational hug, but it is not a toy. It was never created with play or excessive handling in mind, and should be kept away from young children and pets at all times. The plushie can not be washed if it gets dirty, without risking marker bleed-through or quality changes to the fur. The tiny details of the muzzle and feet are also very susceptible to damage.
To make sure that Pablo arrives safely, he will be shipped in a sturdy and fully trackable box.
Thanks for looking!
