	Sebnitz - Tragant - Wax

Sebnitz


It seems as the house presents a booth, where the butcher sell its Bratwürste. If a customer wanted to buy one, he had to ring on the bell....! and maybe it presents a restaurant, called by that name. A chimney could possibly have been attached once, it fits for a restaurant as for a booth!!
Tragant Originally served the pharmacists as stabilization and bonding agent. When this gum from the box thorn was mixed with sugar, water and sometimes eggs, it became a well malleable dough. It was often molded in flat modelling casts. When dried in a warm oven it became very hard, was less porous than other dough and could therefore be finely painted.

The above tragant figures are between 10 and 5 cm high.
Wax
Small wax angels with Dresden wings; 6cm high.
