Wooden Toy - Hanno the Gorilla Wooden Figure

Hanno's powerful hardwood frame can hold many poses. His elastic-band muscles and durable wood limbs make him almost impervious to breakage. Hanno is made from sustainably harvested new-growth beech wood. In the classic tradition of solid wood toys, Hanno is meant both for children and adults. Hanno is the first of a series of wooden animals from David Weeks. Hanno the Gorilla has flexible joints. 6.5" x 12" x 3.5".
