Nutcrackers are classic German decorative items for winter and Christmas time.
The stately king with a white ruffled beard is a very special specimen. He wears, as befits a king, a gold and black crown, a golden scepter and a red parade uniform with golden buttons.
Of course, the deco nutcracker has a movable cracking lever, but it serves only decorative purposes.
After all, a king doesn't need to crack nuts!
