Soft toys from Bad Kösen, the small health resort on the Saale, are something quite special and valuable.  They are distinguished by their natural and very expressive design, their high play value and the extremely good quality of material and workmanship. Important details are worked out with love and care, and the faces get very realistic expression.  Only the best plush is selected.  The animals are sewn together from up to 70 individual parts, turned, filled with high quality fibers, sewn up, combed, embroidered and painted.  Everything is pure handicraft.

The domesticated water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) is the “living tractor of the East” and has been introduced to Europe, Africa, the Americas, Australia, Japan, and Hawaii. There are two types, river and swamp, each considered a subspecies. The river buffalo was present by 2500 BC in India and 1000 BC in Mesopotamia. The breed was selected mainly for its milk, which contains 8 percent butterfat. Breeds include the Murrah with its curled horns, the Surati, and the Jafarabadi. Swamp buffalo more closely resemble wild water buffalo and are used as draft animals in rice paddies throughout Southeast Asia. Breeds range from the 900-kg (2,000-pound) Thai and haizi to the 400-kg wenzhou and carabao. Children ride them to their wallows after their labours and clean their faces and ears.
