This Easter bunny is turned from solid ash wood, discreet in its design and strikingly eloquent in its posture: with its spoon sharpened attentively, the bunny seems to want to hop off at any moment to deliver the eggs. A strikingly beautiful detail of this Seiffen handicraft is the skillful carving of the natural wood grain. Its course is skillfully incorporated into the design and thus expressively emphasizes the Easter bunny's lively readiness to deliver.

The fact that a famous wood art developed in the originally densely forested Erzgebirge is not only explained by the availability of the material. As a branch of industry, handicrafts became all the more important as the local mining industry rapidly lost resources and profitability. Folk art slipped into this gap, which mining - no less than Christmas - still shaped with numerous motifs. A center of wood art emerged around Seiffen, where one of the first specialized trade schools was founded in 1853 to promote handicrafts. In the so-called Toy Corner, small and large craft businesses still produce the classics of the folk art of the Erzgebirge: from hoop animals and smoking men to miner figures and nutcrackers to candle arches and wing pyramids.
