This Cool-Man Penny Farthing figure comes from the Kugelmännel series. It is made by hand in the traditional way and with great attention to detail by Karsten Braune “Pfiffiges aus dem Erzgebirge”.
The Cool-Man Penny Farthing figure shows a small, spherical snowman sitting on a penny farthing. The snowman has a round body with black buttons on his stomach. His eyes are large and friendly, which gives him a cute expression. The nose is made of a red carrot, which goes well with his smiling mouth, which is also red. On his head he wears a black top hat decorated with a red ribbon. The snowman sits on a black penny farthing with a large, delicate front wheel, the rear wheel is small, typical for this vehicle. The snowman holds the handlebars firmly with his small hands. The entire figure stands on a round, wooden base, which ensures stability. The design of the figure combines loving details and a charming representation that captures the winter motif in a playful way.
The Cool-Man series is characterized by its humorous and charming snowman figures, which are depicted in various everyday and festive scenes.
