Description

The statuette represents a striding, slightly bent man with his right leg put forward. Arms are attached by pegs. The man wears a garment covering his knees. The body is painted red, the whites and the kilt are white, the hair, eyelids and pupils are black. The proportions of the statuette are overelongated. The posture of the bent man allows to interpret the statuette as that representing a ploughman and being an element of a model scene.
