Trauffer Cow 1 Eating - Freiburg Wooden Animal

This Trauffer "Cow 1" wooden figurine from Freiburg, depicted as if she were eating, seems like an ambassador of tranquility. She lowers her head to savor the scent of lush herbs, while her little bell gently tells of mountains and pastures. Her story begins in the hands of children: There, together with other animals from the Trauffer universe, she wanders along long mountain trails, attends village festivals, or rests under an apple tree of her own imagination. Perhaps she carries stories of alpine music out into the world; perhaps she meets friends she would never otherwise have met: a cat, a penguin, a rabbit. Her wood preserves the feeling of home, yet her world is boundless. Children can invent melodies with her, build fields, design barns, and plant new dreams every day. She reminds us that happiness sometimes lies in the simple things—in the grass, in the wind, in free play.
