A garden gnome is a small, bearded humanoid figure, usually around 8–24 inches tall. It has a round, rosy-cheeked face with a bulbous nose, bushy eyebrows, and twinkling eyes. A thick, white beard flows down to its chest. It wears a pointed red hat, a tunic in earthy tones, a thick belt, and sturdy boots. Some hold tools like a shovel or lantern. Their stout bodies give them a jolly yet wise appearance, with plump hands and short limbs, exuding a rustic, whimsical charm.
