My two dwarfs, but in particular the one on the fly agaric, are my two most favorite Xmas deco items. I’ve have these two carvings that my dad made since I was little and they simply had to come with me to New Zealand. The dwarf on the mushroom emits smoke. It’s a one of its kind “Räuchermännchen” (incense smoker) – a typical Xmas decoration of the Erzgebirge region. You place incense inside, light it and it will emit smoke. Usually it’s a miner that smokes. Although I am a non-smoker myself, I like my mushroom dwarf. 🙂
