 Augustus the Strong was Elector of Saxony and King of Poland and is one of the most famous representatives of the European kings. He liked to show that he lived up to his name by breaking horseshoes with his bare hands and engaging in fox tossing by holding the end of his sling with just one finger while two of the strongest men in his court held the other end. The carefully selected accessories complement the finely crafted nutcracker. Great for passing down through the generations!
