STEINBACH CHRISTMAS LEGENDS DUNCAN THE SCOTTISH SANTA NUTCRACKER - W/BOX. Patrick O'Santa (ES1835) Nutcracker. The images of Santa from all around the world continue to inspire this amazing Steinbach Christmas Legends Nutcracker Series that began in 1993. Traveling all around the globe from Germany to Scotland, Steinbach landed in Ireland in 2001 with a charming and whimsical interpretation of Ireland's patron saint. The enduring legends of Saint Patrick relate that he used a shamrock to explain the Trinity and that he banished all snakes from Ireland.

Saint Patrick traveled widely, baptizing, confirming, preaching and building churches, schools and monasteries. Patrick as a nutcracker wears a traditional green fur trimmed robe vest and pants. His top hat sports a snappy shamrock and a pot of gold sits at his feet. Patrick O'Santa (ES1835) stands about 17 inches tall and plays the tune When Irish Eyes are Smiling.

This piece is the eighth in the Christmas Legends Nutcracker Series and was limited to 7,500 pieces. Item has been lovingly displayed and is in exceptional condition.

Original tag and box included.
