The smoker represents a miner’s elder – a figure of great importance in mining tradition. As a dignified representative of the old miners’ guild, he embodies experience, respect, and responsibility within the mining community. His appearance is as impressive as it is symbolic.
He wears the traditional miner’s uniform: a black frock coat with gold buttons, combined with a striking red smock and white trousers. This color combination represents the classic colors of mining. His tall black cap is adorned with a gold-colored coat of arms and a red feather – both symbols of his high rank and position within the miners’ guild.
In his right hand, the smoker holds a carefully crafted miner’s axe with gold details. It symbolizes the tools and hard work underground. In his left hand, he carries a brown pipe, from which the pleasant scent of an incense cone can be heard when smoked. His face is lovingly painted: with a red nose, friendly blue eyes, rosy cheeks, and an artfully curved mustache, he appears both dignified and personable.
Particularly striking is the slightly bent leg, resting casually on a sparkling stone – a detail reminiscent of the ore mined deep within the mountains. This bent leg lends the figure vitality and a touch of humor.
The smoker is crafted from high-quality wood and lovingly hand-painted using traditional techniques. Each figure is unique. It combines Ore Mountain craftsmanship with mining history and is an expressive piece of vibrant folk culture.
