For caryatid stools by the same carver see AHDRC 0032293, 0146620 und 0160840.

The prominent facial features and the forming of the body (breasts, shoulders/ arms in right angles, navel), as well as the scarifications show greatest similarities.

One of these “kipona” (AHDRC 0032293) comes from the collection of Friedrich Wield, a German sculptor whose collecting activity is documented for the 1930s.
