Index card : Small male wooden figure The small, reddish-brown painted figure, defective at the lower end, has large, oval, very vivid eyes and a mushroom-shaped top, the stem of which is covered by an incised meander band. It is also remarkably designed in other respects. Widening out, the bow-shaped nose extension forms the chest, with which the back of the head and back merge at shoulder height. The latter ends above the pelvis, so that only the hands resting on the thighs are connected to the lower body. As in the previous figure, a stirrup - although it is much flatter here - connects the base of the top to the neck. The field representing the hairstyle shows a frequently occurring ornament.
