Pastel Bagpiper Christmas Wooden Nutcracker 15 in by Wizardi F07AM9-20-N01820B

Pipe in the holidays with the Pastel Bagpiper, a wooden Christmas nutcracker by Wizardi — a piper in a stacked top hat painted with pink, white and sky blue zigzags, a fluffy white beard, and a pink and blue jacket with silver fringe epaulettes and gem buttons. He plays a set of bagpipes with a green bag and white pipes, with white trousers and pink studded boots on a round sky blue base shaped like a drum.

A little collector's folklore: pipers have played at winter festivals and New Year celebrations for centuries, and collectors say the sound of bagpipes on Christmas Eve calls the whole family home.

Why this nutcracker: if you love a soft pastel Christmas or have a piper in the family, he is a fun, unusual twist on the classic soldier. At 15 inches he stands out on a mantel or bookshelf.

In the box: one Pastel Bagpiper nutcracker in painted wood with a white faux-fur beard and bagpipes, packed in a red gift box with a window. A decorative nutcracker, not intended for cracking nuts. Ready to display, no assembly needed.

Form the full pastel band with the guitar player, the drummer and the trumpeter king (F07AM9-20-N01820A, C and D). Dust with a soft, dry brush and keep away from moisture and heat. A decoration, not a toy.

Size: 38 cm tall (15 in). Pastel Christmas and music room decor, and a fun gift for pipers and music lovers.
