Description

A probably female emaciated-looking wooden figure with bulging, skeletonized chest. The oversized, very narrow head is held straight. The face has a long curved nose. The lips are open, revealing two rows of teeth. The eyebrows are prominent. The sharp chin is adorned with a hooked goatee.
Very long, straight arms hang down from the shoulders at the sides. The hands with incised fingers are not fully sculpted, but the knuckles are. The ribcage with its pronounced ribs ends in the middle with the sword process protruding far above the abdomen. The navel is marked on the curved belly. The figure has no genitals - perhaps female? Slightly bent at the knee, the legs end in small feet that have not been fully sculpted. On the back, the spine with individual vertebrae strongly emerges.
