It is two pieces and cone incense (Rucherkerzchen) is lit and placed in the bottom and the smoke comes out his mouth. The Ruchermann was first mentioned in 1850 and is a common Christmas tradition. This one is an older one. He does show some wear and has been burned before. The brim on his hat is damaged.
