Knecht Ruprecht (Farmhand Rupert) is a German companion of Santa Clause. Similar to Zwart Piet and the Krampus, it is Rupert's job to to punish the naughty children. This is the first in a series I am working on, called "The Anti-Clause Series." This one is hollow so it can be used as a tree topper.
