Pitl malan' Krampus figure
A Krampus to guard cigarettes
This delicately figure of an impishly grinning Krampus carved from pear wood carries a basket to keep cigarettes in. It was made by the sculptor Franz Insam de Cësanueva from St. Christina, who created a series of items popular throughout the whole Habsburg empire in the 1870s - not only items such as this one for tobacco consumers, but nutcrackers, too.
