Detailed Description of the Figure
The Premium Nutcracker William Shakespeare, 44 cm by Christian Ulbricht stands on a sturdy, dark wooden base, measuring 44 cm in height, 21 cm in width, and 18 cm in depth. Crafted from native woods such as maple, beech, alder, ash, spruce, linden, and pine, it features a colorful design with deep green, red, and gold tones. The poet wears an elegant green cloak with golden embellishments along the edges, reminiscent of opulent Renaissance costumes. His head is covered with a black velvet cap, adorned with a wide golden band and a small feather that adds an artistic touch.
The face is intricately designed: a thick, gray beard frames the mouth, equipped with red lips and white teeth to enable the classic nutcracker mechanism. The eyes are large and contemplative, with black pupils on a light background, hidden behind round, silver glasses that lend him a wise expression. In his right hand, he holds an open scroll with golden ink, representing a piece of his work, while his left hand grasps a book engraved with the title “Hamlet.” The black boots and the felt-like texture of the cloak reflect the meticulous craftsmanship from Seiffen in the Ore Mountains.
