This Martha Pippen “Knecht Ruprecht” figure is a rustic, old-world companion character to Saint Nicholas from German folklore. He’s styled as a traveling gift-bringer with a deep red felt cloak and hat, pinecone-and-berry trim, long white beard, twig walking staff, and a burlap pack filled with holiday greenery (with a small teddy peeking out). A wonderful primitive/woodland Christmas display piece that stands on its round base.
