Authentic German craftsmanship with the Nutcracker Doctor, 40 cm by Steinbach

A distinctive Nutcracker Doctor, 40 cm by Steinbach with remarkable medical details

The Nutcracker Doctor, 40 cm by Steinbach combines traditional German craftsmanship with an extraordinary contemporary theme. The impressive doctor wears a long white coat decorated with silver-coloured buttons. His expressive face features green eyes, rosy cheeks, a prominent nose and the characteristic visible teeth of a traditional German nutcracker. Thick grey hair frames his face, while sturdy black shoes provide a striking contrast to his bright medical clothing.

His unusual accessories make the figure particularly memorable. The doctor holds a large syringe across his body, while a light blue face mask hangs from his other hand. Small vaccine bottles stand on the dark circular wooden base. Beneath one shoe lies a stylised virus, while the “Covid-19 Fighter” plaque recalls the period that inspired this distinctive design.
