Grey Gnome with Red Dot Hat 15 cm

The Grey Gnome, legendary Alsatian folklore creature, 15 cm tall

The Gnome is a small, legendary humanoid creature from European folklore, approximately 15 cm tall and grey in colour, wearing a red dotted hat and a white beard. This decorative figurine embodies the mysteries of the little people from Alsatian tradition, those imaginary creatures that have populated the forests and mountains of the region for centuries.

He is often confused with goblins and hobgoblins, who like him are part of the little folk from European legends. These mysterious beings have fascinated storytellers and collectors of popular traditions across Europe for generations.

Paracelsus, in the 16th century, included him in his list of elementals as an earth elemental. This ancient classification demonstrates the cultural significance of the gnome in hermetic philosophy and European mythology.

It is characterised by a very small size, a subterranean life, and great knowledge of telluric secrets. The gnome symbolises the hidden wisdom of nature and harmony with the underground world. Perfect for decorating your Alsatian home, this 15 cm gnome brings a touch of magical folklore to your collection of regional souvenirs and timeless treasures.
