Description

wood, animal skin, metal, handwritten inventory no. “1452” and label “T-199”, fragmentary, base

This figure impresses above all with its heavily sweating patina on the face and neck. It still carries magical mass in a tube of reptile skin around its body. In the head there is a recess for filling with magical charge.
