The Rübezahl nutcracker from KWO is an impressive example of Erzgebirge craftsmanship. This masterpiece is lovingly handcrafted in the heart of the Ore Mountains, a place with a rich tradition of craftsmanship. KWO’s experienced staff devotes great attention to the woodworking to emphasize the natural beauty of the material and give the nutcracker a warm and inviting appearance.
The “Rübezahl” nutcracker impresses with its natural color scheme and its richly detailed design. His long fabric coat with brown buttons gives him a sublime yet mysterious appearance. Furthermore, the fluffy artificial hair adorning his movable mouthpiece and the hair beneath his brown hat emphasizes his wild and mystical character.
His grim-looking face, highlighted by his distinctive beard and striking eyes, reinforces his imposing appearance. At the same time, the brown hat, which perfectly matches the rest of the natural colors, complements his look and underscores his connection to nature and the mountains. His powerful figure stands securely on a stable pedestal, symbolizing his steadfastness.
In one hand, he holds a bundle of wood tied with a string. In the other, he carries a walking stick to which several pine cones are attached. The lovingly crafted details, such as the realistic logs and the rustic stick, demonstrate the high level of craftsmanship that goes into this figure.
Rubezahl, the Lord of the Giant Mountains, is a legendary figure from German and Czech folklore. He is considered a protector of the forests and a capricious spirit. He does good deeds while also challenging people with his pranks. The nutcracker reflects this mystical aura through its grim appearance and nature-inspired accessories.
The “Rübezahl” nutcracker combines traditional craftsmanship with a touch of mythology, thus bringing a special atmosphere to any room.
