Summary
Five painted plastic models of gnomes, each different, that were probably Christmas tree decorations. They all have an eyelet moulded onto their caps, through which a loop of string is threaded, by which they could be hung from a branch. One gnome has a lantern and the others are playing a French horn, a guitar, an accordion and a double bass respectively. Total number of items is 5.
