Inspired by the Scandinavian tomte, the kindly gnome of Nordic folklore said to watch over the home through the long winter, Håkan and Stina capture a quiet moment of love. Seated side by side on a weathered bench with hands clasped, the couple lean in for a gentle kiss beneath their tall pointed hats.

Look closely and the detail rewards you: the knitted texture of the hats picked out with tiny silver studs, Håkan's curling beard and scalloped woollen coat, Stina's plaited hair and dotted apron, and the worn grain of the bench beneath them. This decorative Christmas figurine makes a thoughtful gift for couples and anniversaries, and a lovely addition to any collection of Nordic Christmas decorations, to be brought out with a smile year after year.
