This is a bichrome figurine glazed yellow with some copper green flecks outside and the stabbed decoration coloured green. The interior is hollow and it is not glazed.

The authors write that this example is stylistically more comparable to Aachen examples. Dimensions: length: 46.30mm; width: 45.48mm; thickness: 25.40mm; weight: 28.03g.
