Lord Giltmourne – The Gold-Crowned Krampus
Lord Giltmourne is not a wandering woods demon — he is a crowned enforcer of winter law, the kind of Krampus summoned when promises to kings are broken and oaths are quietly ignored.
Standing 13 inches tall, this one-of-a-kind Krampus is richly layered in smoky green textiles, weathered velvet, and thick gray fur, giving him the presence of a miniature monarch executioner. His intense golden eyes, aged cracked face, and crooked, blood-stained grin hint at centuries of cold, ceremonial judgment.
Resting upon his shoulder is a gold-crowned skull, a chilling symbol of fallen oaths and forgotten allegiances, while a distressed “evidence” relic dangles from his hand like a quiet warning. His antlered crown, antique medallion, braided cord belt, and heavy fur mantle give him the appearance of a relic removed from a forgotten throne room rather than a holiday decoration.
Every surface has been hand-aged, layered, and intentionally distressed to create the look of a true folklore artifact. This is a museum-style, collector-grade art doll and will never be replicated.

What Is Krampus?
Krampus is a legendary Alpine folk figure dating back hundreds of years to regions of Austria, Germany, and surrounding areas. Traditionally appearing during the Christmas season, Krampus is the dark counterpart to Saint Nicholas.
While Saint Nicholas rewards good children, Krampus punishes the naughty — often depicted carrying chains, bells, birch rods, and sacks used to carry away misbehaving children. In folklore, he roams villages during early December, especially on Krampusnacht (December 5th), rattling his chains as a warning that winter judgment has arrived.
Today, Krampus remains a powerful symbol of gothic holiday folklore, blending ancient pagan roots with European Christian traditions and inspiring dark Christmas decor, festivals, and folk art around the world.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Hi! I’m Tricia, the artist behind Added Touches by Tricia.
I’ve been painting, creating, and making weird and wonderful art for as long as I can remember. My mom was an incredible folk artist who showed and sold her work throughout the Southeast, and I proudly followed in her footsteps — just with a slightly creepier twist.
Over the years, I’ve taught art, created a line of hand-painted children’s clothing, painted theater sets, and built props for stage productions. But now, I’m finally able to focus on what I love most: dolls, weird stuff, and recycling forgotten treasures.
I rescue old, discarded dolls — once destined for the landfill — and give them a second (and much stranger) life through dark folk art transformation.
One of my creepy creations, Bum Bum the Clown, was featured on the podcast My Brother, My Brother, and Me. Several of my dolls have appeared in indie films and were spotlighted in Travels and Curiosities magazine. Most recently, I was honored to create a custom creepy clown doll for the live act Phobias, which appeared in the semifinals of America’s Got Talent.
Thank you so much for visiting my shop — it truly is my happy place.
