This unique pair of Egyptian-themed Holiday pieces by Nutcracker Village includes a very rare and stunning Egyptian Queen, gold-caped and dressed in white satin with a mesh underlining, and waisted with a colorful sash. Wearing a blue and red faux gemmed collar, she is seen holding scepters and wearing her striking beaded cobra headpiece while standing beside her black cat regally collared in gold with a faux-ruby gem.
NOTE: The Queen nutcracker has the up/down lever on the back but is designed with the front opening unseen and located underneath the dress.
To the Queen's right is the Pharaoh, holding his crook and flail and detailed in his black and gold-glittered striped collar and cobra headpiece.
Both nutcrackers are set upon a pyramid-shaped base of hieroglyphs. An eye-catching pair to add to your Egyptian-themed decor or Holiday Nutcracker collections.
