Erzgebirge Wood Art: Incense Smoker Gnome with Crossbow, 26 cm by DWU Drechselwerkstatt Uhlig

A unique piece – the Incense Smoker Gnome with Crossbow, 26 cm by DWU Drechselwerkstatt Uhlig

This charming woodland rogue instantly captivates with his two-tone beard and expressive smoking mouth. Under his tall, hand-turned hat – richly decorated with pinecones, red berries, cinnamon sticks, and fir twigs – peek out curious eyes full of mischief. The natural wood body contrasts beautifully with deep black boots, and a brown felt cape adds to his rustic charm. In his hands, the gnome holds a finely crafted crossbow, complete with string, and a quiver filled with arrows rests at his side. On the round wooden base, tiny handcrafted details like mushrooms, berries, and pinecones evoke the magic of the Erzgebirge forest.
