Safari Ltd. Mythical Realms - Harpy - Realistic Hand Painted Toy Figurine Model - Quality Construction from Phthalate, Lead and BPA Free Materials - for Ages 3 and Up

In mythology a harpy was a half human, half bird personification of storm winds. She's said to have originally been a wind spirit and is often depicted with lovely hair. Today there is a real bird, the harpy eagle, named for the mythological creature. Harpies feature in many Greek and Roman tales and poems, often as antagonists who harass travelers on long journeys. The word "harpy" means "snatcher", and they are known for stealing food to feed their insatiable appetites. They are also known for carrying evildoers to be judged by the Furies, goddesses of vengeance. Like all Safari Ltd products, this figurine has been individually hand painted, features quality construction from phthalate and lead-free materials, and includes an educational hangtag in 5 languages. Realistic, educational, and fun, this figurine is suitable for a range of interests, including collectors, enthusiasts, teachers, and kids.
