    It looks Norwegian/Scandinavian and seems to be some kind of pot holder or something like that. i've seen them before but can't remember what they are. i bought it at urban ore in berkeley the other day.

      Really cool nutcracker!

      Nice, though it doesn't really look Scandinavian to me, at least not Swedish. Perhaps from the Alps. Switzerland/Austria is also a possibility.

      Very cute and Whimsey!

      thank you Rockbat, Kyra, Jeneric, OlofZ, and shareurpassion! i think it is Norwegian. i found lots of pics of similar ones [although not as nice as this one] marked 'Scandinavian' or 'Norwegian'.

      Squirrel nutcrackers probably from what was Yugoslavia ... or so I have been told. I have some too bought at a collectors fair
