Description
The origin of the Lajkonik can be dated back to the 13th century, when the city of Krakow was attacked during the Tatar invasions of Europe. However the people of Krakow were able to successfully repel the Tatar invasion. The Lajkonik has become one of the unofficial symbols of the city of Krakow, Poland. It is represented as a bearded man resembling a Tatar in a characteristic pointed hat, dressed in Mongol attire, with a wooden horse around his waist.
Where ever your tastes lie, from the Goral Szczawnica Man, to a depiction of a Harvest Festival in Dozynki. Whether you're adding to a collection or just starting one out. These dolls are perfect, clothed in authentic regional folk costumes, as certified by the Polish Ministry of Culture. These traditional Polish dolls are completely handmade. Notice the fine attention to detail and workmanship.
