figure; spatula fragment

Small anthropomorphic figure, rather roughly carved from a single piece of wood. The arms hang down the sides of the body, the face is more detailed, the ears stand out visually. The surface is painted red, otherwise there are no special decorations. Rough wood fibre remains between the legs, under the arms and on the neck. At the lower end there is a knotted piece of string threaded through between the legs and an old, partially damaged paper label with the handwritten note "Nauer 11/3 11".
