Cob The Visitor | Handmade Folklore Figurine

Cob is a handmade collectible folklore figurine created by The Nordic Ghost Merchants in Denmark, inspired by autumn folklore, old seasonal traditions, and the strange pumpkin-headed Visitors recorded throughout Merchant accounts.

This folklore figurine is crafted through precision 3D printing. He is then hand painted and engraved.

The Visitors are an unusual autumn occurrence within Merchant records. Pumpkin-headed figures wrapped in old travelling cloaks, they appear without warning during the darkening weeks of the year, often near roads, field boundaries and places where the harvest has recently passed.

Their origins remain uncertain. Some accounts describe them as travellers; others insist they are seasonal spirits following old routes long since forgotten. The Guild has never reached a satisfactory conclusion. Each Visitor is therefore recorded individually upon arrival.

Cob was first recorded near the remains of a harvested maize field, standing quietly beside a narrow cart track long after the last wagon had passed.

Unlike many Visitors, he made no attempt to follow the road. Merchant notes record only that he remained facing the field until morning, as though waiting for something the harvest had left behind.

Cob the folklore figurine measures 5 cm in height.
