The Nutcracker Miners’ Elder wears an elaborate and traditional uniform, which is decorated with symbolic details. Manufactured by the Seiffener Volkskunst company in traditional handcraft. His green, imposing hat is richly decorated with gold patterns and shows the Saxon coat of arms on the front, which is set in a gold frame. A black feather protrudes above it, which gives the appearance additional elegance.
The Nutcracker’s angular face is characterized by striking blue eyes and strong blue eyebrows. His thick, dark blue moustache stands out strongly from his face. The Nutcracker’s typical red lips are open and reveal white teeth. The gray, voluminous beard on his chin reinforces the traditional and dignified expression of the figure.
His uniform consists of a black jacket with striking gold decorations. In particular, the buttons and the cross-shaped details on the front are reminiscent of symbols of mining. His shoulders are accentuated with gold balls, which give the figure a festive touch. The wide red belt that encircles his waist is a central element of the uniform and is decorated with a golden emblem with a hammer and mallet, classic symbols of the miners’ guild.
In his left hand, the Nutcracker holds a golden pickaxe. Particularly noteworthy is the small saber attached to his belt, whose gold details are finely crafted.
The lower part of the figure is kept simple. The white trousers and black boots stand on a sturdy, green base that gives him a firm footing. This artistic piece of handcrafted wooden art from the Ore Mountains embodies the tradition and pride of the miners.
