Ostheimer Wooden Black Knight & Horse Figure Play Set

Prepare for battle with the Black Knight and Horse figures from Ostheimer. This beautiful wooden knight and horse play set has been expertly hand-crafted in Germany from solid wood and carefully handpainted in black and red. 

This wooden jousting knight on horseback is in full armour with a red shield with a dragon motif on one arm and a lance in the opposite hand. Both arms and legs are moveable and posable, the sword and shield removable, and he can dismount from his horse and become free-standing. The knight's horse is dark grey with a black mane and tail, and has a matching red caparison covering its back. This wooden knight is the perfect addition to children's fairytale small-world play and story sacks, where he may be jousting to please the king or winning the hand of a princess. This imaginative play figure can be teamed up with other Ostheimer figures in the knights and castle range at Babipur.

This Waldorf figure has been expertly handcrafted from start to finish using hardwoods locally and responsibly sourced from European forests.
