The Saxon Miner Nutcracker wears an elaborate and symbolic uniform and comes from the House of Seiffener Volkskunst. His striking green hat with gold decorations immediately stands out. On the front of the hat is a coat of arms, highlighted by a gold frame.
The miner has an angular face with blue eyes and striking gray eyebrows. His moustache is dark gray and gives him a serious expression. The Nutcracker’s typical red lips are open and his teeth are visible, which particularly emphasizes the mechanical aspect of the figure. His hair, which protrudes from the sides, is gray-white and matches the beard that adorns the moving part of the mouth.
His uniform consists of a black jacket that has gold details. Particularly striking are the gold buttons and the decorations that look like crossed hammers, a symbol of the mining industry. His shoulders are decorated with gold caps, which underlines the festive character of the figure. The jacket is fitted with a wide, gold belt that accentuates his waist.
The miner holds a long flag in his right hand. This flag is in the colors yellow, green and white and shows a Saxon coat of arms with black and yellow stripes and green tendrils. The shaft of the flag is brown and decorated with gold balls at the ends.
The miner wears yellow trousers that contrast with his black boots. These boots are firm and stable and stand on a green base that gives the figure a firm footing.
