The nutcracker works on the principle of moments as described by Archimedes for the analysis of levers. Pretty boring explanation as to why I named this lion Archimedes, but there you go! Nutcrackers have existed since the 15th century and today are mostly used as decorative purposes. As tough as Archimedes might seem, he definitely won't be cracking any nuts this Christmas.
MEASUREMENTS: Even though Archimedes hardly weighs a thing he is approx. 34 cm (13.5 inches) tall. He is firmly attached to his green felted base with brass wires in is feet and coat-tail and is completely free standing. He is cute to look at, and he comes from a smoke free home, but he is not a children's toy, nor will he crack nuts!
Archimedes is dressed in a lovely shade of red for his suit and crown and has black boots and mustard yellow pants and trim. His head is a combination of buttery brown and darker brown highlights and he has beautiful brown eyes. Remember different monitors may show colours slightly different then they actually are, but trust me, I've worked very hard in picking out just the right colours to bring these sculptures to life!
Listing is for felted Lion Nutcracker only. Other display items are not included.
