Full original description
Small duster intended to transport the black duster used by the hunter. Small and artistic anthropomorphic figure with the underside bent, decorated with concentric stretch marks. The upper part is formed by a pointed ellipse whose vertices simulate the arms, in which a hole has been made for the introduction of the rope that will allow to carry it hanging from the neck. The rounded head has an arrow nose and an open mouth. This small duster also plays the role of the hunter's protective talisman. Nice patina of time.
