The nutcracker represents a miner in the position of Saxon head smelter manager. He wears a striking gray-blue uniform that immediately catches the eye with its gold details and underlines his military or official role. The uniform gives him an imposing appearance that is further enhanced by his carefully designed accessories.
The nutcracker’s face is striking: a twirled mustache and a soft, white beard made of synthetic hair that covers the movable part of the mouth give him a majestic appearance. His eyes are attentive and focused, in keeping with his responsible role as head smelter manager. The Nutcracker’s black hat is adorned with gold and green insignia, including a coat of arms and a decorative element symbolizing his high position. A striking black and yellow plume crowns the hat, making it even more impressive.
The epaulettes and buttons of the uniform are also gold, further emphasizing the miner’s importance and rank. In his right hand, the Nutcracker holds a halberd-like weapon, underlining his authority. The belt of his uniform is decorated with a gold buckle, and a sword with a gold tip hangs at his side, making him appear ready for battle and dignified.
His white trousers and black boots complete the traditional miner’s outfit and create a harmonious overall image. The Nutcracker stands firmly on a green base, which gives him stability and keeps him safely upright. The Nutcracker’s facial expression is serious and focused, fitting the meaningful role he represents.
