-This is a beautiful, hand-carved German nutcracker from the Black Forest, from the early 20th century. The figure depicts a gnome with his hands in his pockets. At the back there is a large lever with which the mouth of the man can be opened to crack nuts. The details of the woodcarving are truly remarkable, as can be seen in the photos.
The wood26 is stained with black and transparent stain.
Such figurines are typical examples of European folk art.
