November 2017 Newsletter from The Nutcracker Lady
Interesting new items in the museum.
Joulupukki
This is Joulupukki, the Finnish Santa Claus. Here he is with a “tonttu”, a
little gnome-like creature who helps craft toys in the workshop. |
Little General
From Sonneberg comes this Little General strutting along in his tall plumed
hat and fancy jacket. |
Jester
This Jester is one of Steinbach’s earliest nutcrackers. It is very difficult
to find, as few were made and fewer yet have survived. |
Horse Head
From Poland comes this large 13 inch horse head. It was donated to the
museum by Susan Otto of Ohio. |
Genghis Kahn
This fascinating nutcracker was created in the likeness of Genghis Khan by
Russian Artist Anatilij Titos. |
A Forest Creature
This Forest Creature is believed to have been made in Germany. Note all the
little creatures that cling to him. |
A Crow
This very interesting Crow crafted in Sonneberg will crack nuts in his beak. |
A Gnome
From Germany comes this little Gnome. From his expression, he must have
found something very interesting! |
