Figure with magical substance

This figure has all the characteristics of a butti. The nose, the slightly open mouth and the trapezoidal beard form a pointed triangle. The ears are set far back on the head. The reddish shimmering clay covering is cracked and has been in need of repair in some places. Author: Michael Schönhuth
