The bell miner is a particularly artistic figure of the Erzgebirge Christmas tradition and at the same time a mechanical masterpiece. Designed in classic miner's costume, he carries a candlestick in one hand and a finely crafted miniature pyramid in the other, which is decorative and functional at the same time. As soon as the warmth of the candles rises, the pyramid begins to rotate gently, with an ingenious mechanism triggering the chime of a small golden bell – a fine acoustic detail that makes this figure special. The movement is created solely by the traditional principle of pyramid wings, without any electronics. This 40 cm tall light figure is made by hand, painted and assembled with a lot of technical skill, combines classic shapes with sophisticated movement and makes the light of Christmas come alive in an impressive way.
