About this work

The object consists of two cast parts which can be screwed together: the figure and the base. The man, standing on a round base and dressed in breeches and a doublet, wears a full sack on his head, in which round signs are engraved as well as the numbers 17..17..3, and in which a granulated irregularly shaped field is cut out on the flat top. The octagonal, hollow at the bottom, profiled base tapers toward the top.
