Description: |
Miniature hollow molded figure of a dwarf having a harelip, degenerated nasal cartilage and deformed feet. The presence of both nasal and oral deformities often points to punishment meted out to a captive whereby soft tissue of the nose and lips are cut away. This figure displays classic symptoms of dwarfism and in addition, legs terminate in a split toe instead of a normal foot. Again, possibly punishment, or this poor individual was victim to numerous ailments. Short arms terminate in hands. The body is clad in short trunks or diaper, tie around neck and wound diadem headband. White painted detail over the tan-pink, natural terracotta. Intact. Custom metal mount. |
