This packing owl is a re-creation of a traditional doll and is a sought after collector's item. The packing owl, made from 100% wool duffle, are softly stuffed animal dolls dress in a miniature version of an authentic, hand-embroidered woman's amaut - a parka  which allows a baby to be carried (or packed) comfortably and warmly on the back.  These owls are meticulously handcrafted with great attention to detail and come with a brightly coloured parka.  The artist individually signs each packing bear in Inuit script.
