The Old World Christmas Mini Nutcracker Soldier Ornament is a nod to a beloved holiday tradition. Originally carved by commoners as a playful joke, nutcrackers were designed to make a little wooden soldier or king do the tough job of cracking nuts. Today, they’re closely linked to the Christmas season, thanks to their whimsical charm and the iconic Nutcracker Suite ballet. Ornament dimensions: 2" H x 0.75" L x 0.75" W.
