Historically, nutcracker figurines, often also called nut biters, served the practical purpose of opening nuts. Today, however, they mainly find their place in homes as decorative objects during the Advent- and Christmas season. The slightly grim facial expression of the nutcrackers, is based on the features of authority figures such as princes or kings, and gives them a characteristic, almost awe-inspiring appearance.
