Figurine mystérieuse au teint bleu
Creators: Carlo Spéder
This figurine represents a character with a mysterious face, perhaps from a folkloric or ritual universe such as a witch. Her expression is intense and her outfit richly decorated. His face is painted green, with raised, oblique, triangular eyes made of cardboard and outlined in blue. His long, prominent nose is red from the front, while in profile it appears hooked and green, with red nostrils. His mouth is painted red and black, revealing three white teeth. Beneath it, a prominent chin juts forward. His black eyebrows are arched outwards, accentuating his gaze. Her face is framed by long, black, fibrous hair. His neck, a painted, articulated wooden ball, is no longer attached to the body, making the head removable. The figure wears an imposing four-pointed star-shaped ornament in red-painted cardboard. On his forehead, a white plastic circle adorned with small gold stars completes this imposing headdress. Her body is wrapped in a brown cape, which starts at her skull and falls to the ground. Long, jagged bands of red fabric, decorated with golden stars, adorn the edges of the cape and run down each side of her body. The cape partly conceals a sumptuous dress with floral and geometric motifs in shades of red, yellow, blue and green. A triangular black band, adorned with golden stars, runs down her torso, while another runs down the front of the dress from the waist. Two red bangs adorned with stars, held in place by a red and green border at the waist, cover the hips and run down to the figure's feet. His metal hands, painted green, feature twisted fingers with red-painted nails. Its pointed wooden feet are painted white. Only the left foot is fixed. The figure rests on a rectangular wooden base, covered in red fabric with floral motifs, the edges of which are adorned with black and green fabric depicting plant motifs. The wood has a hole on the underside.
