Know before you buy
The Drosselmeyer ornament stands 4 inches tall, with a width of 1 3/4 inches and a depth of 1 5/8 inches.
This piece is designed as a decorative ornament for your tree or holiday display. It is not intended to be used as a functional nutcracker.
The ornament is crafted from wood, consistent with the traditional manufacturing methods used by Käthe Wohlfahrt.
While the product is designed as a tree ornament, it does not include a specific hanging string or hook. You will need to provide your own ornament hanger or ribbon to display it on your tree.
To preserve the wood and the painted details, store the ornament in a cool, dry place. Wrapping it in acid-free tissue paper and placing it in a sturdy box will help prevent damage or dust accumulation during the off-season.
