The Nutcracker King, medium, stands dignified and upright on a rich, green-painted round base. His magnificent appearance immediately draws attention. The bold colors of his paintwork—bright red, radiant yellow, deep black, and gleaming gold—underscore his royal rank. His red coat reaches down to his hips and features an artfully painted, gold-trimmed pattern with a blue triangle on the lower front, reminiscent of a royal coat of arms. Yellow cuffs and matching trousers form a striking contrast to his dark boots.
The king wears a tall, black crown with a golden jagged border, clearly identifying him as a ruler. Soft, white synthetic hair falls down the sides beneath the crown, framing his face and giving him a dignified appearance. The movable part of his mouth is also covered with the same soft synthetic hair, elegantly concealing the nutcracker’s mechanism.
His face appears energetic but not unfriendly. Large, expressive blue eyes gaze resolutely forward. Pink cheeks and a round, red, bulbous nose lend him a touch of playfulness. A finely curved black mustache completes his striking countenance. His open mouth reveals an imposing row of teeth, typical of nutcracker figures, lending him a slightly combative expression.
The little nutcracker king combines royal pride with the charm of traditional craftsmanship. With his elaborate painting, lovingly crafted details, and expressive posture, he represents the classic figure of the Erzgebirge Christmas in a particularly elegant way.
