Broken-Neck Haman Purim Gragger (Grogger)

$3,560.00

Broken-neck Haman is banging his head from side to side like a stubborn person saying ‘No’ all the time. His hands are in a surrender position and bang on his missing ears (which are on the Jewish Purim’s plate as hamentashen: Haman’s ear-shaped cookies). The noise of the grogger comes from Haman banging his head and from his loosely hanging bare feet banging against his wooden robe, a far cry from the royal robes he used to wear.
