Product Description
Handmade in limited quantities in Oberammergau, Germany, these Hampelmann, also referred to as Jumping Jacks, are strikingly simplistic, yet sophisticated and beautiful. Originally made as a traditional German toy, complete with moving arms and legs, they are now also considered Objet Dart. The Hampelmann, depicting both German folk heros and contemporary figures, are quite lovely as a wall or window embellishment, or hanging from shelves to add character. They are a wonderful addition to any childs room as well as the kitchen, library, hallway or bathroom. Made from the stems of Spruce trees native to Oberammergau, just as they were when they were introduced back in the 18th century, the artists hand carve the desired shape of each Hampelmann and then split the wood into shingles. Once the figure has been carefully assembled using wooden dowels and string, which provides the movement to the arms and legs, the artists apply a typical Oberammergau painting style known as "Fassmalerei", a secret combination of pigments and lacquers layered on top of a base of chalk.
