This plush is made of custom printed soft velvet fabric to my own design, sewn and stuffed with polyester stuffing. They have plastic safety eyes. Please do not immerse in water, this isn't a real fish!

These plushies will come with a certificate of authenticity, detailling their species, the date they were made and proving that they are an original Palaeoplushie handmade in Scotland by Rebecca Groom.

As this is a hand made item, it is not intended for children and is designed to be an art piece for adults. As they are stitched by machine, they won't fall apart if handled roughly but have not passed the relevant safety standards to be sold as a child's toy.

Plushie Dimensions: 38cm long
