Description

wood, slightly shiny reddish brown patina, black paint in some areas (neck, coiffure), mirror glass eyes, disc-shaped flattened projecting coiffure, overlong ears, slightly dam., crack (bottom), base;
this figure is “naked”, i. e. not charged with power-giving substances. Because of the posture of the arms it can be assumed that originally a box with magical contents was placed at the belly.
