This work is crafted only once by these professional artists: they are husband and wife and graduated from the Moscow College of Art and Toy Carvings. A falwless museum quality work. 12.59 H of Mary. 11.81 Mice height. Mary is decorated in a dress which we see in the classical book "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King" by Hoffmann. Mice are painted in colorful eye catching fairy tale  robes. Each Mouse carries a poleaxe, ready to fight with Mary for dominance of evil forces. Mary's face is calm and serene. She knows that victory will be on her side since she has a nutcracker, this fearless mice fighter. One day he will be her Prince forever!
