The company Volker & Heiko Flath produces this pyramid miner’s train, white-green, 4 floors with loving handwork and an eye for detail.
The highlight of every Christmas is undoubtedly the radiant pyramid, painted in white and bold colors. With its four floors, each one framed by a green fence, it attracts everyone’s attention. Each post of the fence is decorated with a golden ball, which makes the overall picture appear even more magnificent.
On the lowest level there is an impressive miners’ platoon in uniform, accompanied by instruments and tools. The second floor offers the Holy Family a place to stay. Mary and Joseph stand awake next to the manger in which the baby Jesus rests peacefully. Likewise, the Three Kings, guided by the radiant Christmas star, go to Bethlehem to the manger to present their gifts to the child Jesus. The crowns of the kings are ornately decorated with gold, while an announcing angel with long, delicate wings completes this floor.
On the third level, a shepherd moves around with his flock, accompanied by another protective angel. All figures are detailed and hand-painted in vibrant colors. The wings of the pyramid shine in strong white and are decorated with golden stars.
The pyramid has six bright red candle holders that are filled with pyramid candles and gently cause the pyramid to rotate. A true masterpiece of traditional Erzgebirge craftsmanship that you can’t get enough of. It is a tribute to the beauty and tradition of Christmas that inspires every year.
