Mini Matchbox Diorama, Angel and Miner

£28.00

The smallest of all our miniatures, this diorama measures an incredible 2.2cm x 1.7cm - not far off from the size of one's thumb! 

An incredibly detailed winter scene in a matchbox, this small delightful object is made entirely by hand. In the tradition of Eastern German Erzebirge region, wooden Christmas items relate to old European Folklore themes and should be considered as such - half way between outsider art and indigenous folklore. 

Buying this item contributes to the continuation of such traditions. 

Proudly made in Germany by hand.
