The depiction shows a naked body. The right hand is raised in a blessing gesture and points to an object in the left. This is a depiction of the child Jesus that was common in the late Middle Ages. However, the religious motif has not been preserved for everyday objects to this day. Stratigraphic observations and stylistic features of the figurine suggest that it dates to the first half of the 15th century AD
