Description

wood, strongly encrusted patina, insect caused damage (head), base

This extremely expressive figure has an almost cubistic feel to it. The arms seem detached from the body and attached to it like separate forms.

On her back she carries magical charge, which is inserted into a recess and closed with a wooden stake.

A heavily encrusted patina and a head strongly marked by insect caused damage further underline the mystical character and expressiveness of this figure.
