Henry is 14" tall and sewn from a combination of German mohairs giving him the characteristic markings of the Blenheim Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Filled with heavy weighted fibre to give him a very realistic feel. Hand painted glass eyes with sculpted eye rims. Henry has a moveable sculpted lower jaw so his mouth can be opened or closed and has hand sculpted teeth, tongue, upper palette, lips and a little black nose. Henry has cotter-pin jointed back legs and an internal skeletal armature so he can be posed in many different positions. His ears can be posed too. His little dark paw pads have been needle felted.
