The tomte ("tomtar", plural) is a mythological creature from Nordic folklore typically associated with the winter solstice. The creature is generally described as a being no taller than 35 inches and has an appearance similar to that of a garden gnome with a tall conical hat. It is known to have immense strength and is considered the protector of the farm and livestock. The tomte rendering here adorns this 4" X 4" tumbled Botticino Italian marble square with a cork underlay. Nature provides small nicks, dings and fissures which add to the unique beauty of the product.
