Elf Collection | Designed by Robert Simpich | Pristine Condition
Jeremiah has read the book under his arm more than once, and he's about to tell you what's in it.
One hand is raised — making the point, or blessing the road, or waving you over to hear the good part. The other keeps a thick volume tucked tight against his coat: black-bound, its page edges worn to gold, with a red ribbon bookmark trailing out the bottom. A book with a ribbon in it belongs to a reader, not a decorator.
Everything else about him says a life spent walking and thinking: the great black hat gone soft and shapeless with age, brim drooping until only one bright eye peers out; a beard that pours down past his belt like the ones the prophets wore; a fringed homespun tunic under a rough travel coat. His name suits him. Jeremiah is the wise one — the elf the others go find when the question is too big for the kitchen.
He was designed by my grandfather Robert "Bob" Simpich.
Cast from Bob's design, then hand-painted and dressed in hand-sewn clothing in the Simpich doll shop.
