AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Carved wooden figure depicting a mountaineer called 'Kraxler' from South Tyrol around 1930.

The figure is positioned as if hanging from a rope and rappelling carefully.
The decorative handcrafted art object is actually a lamp with a lantern at the bottom.
The lantern is no longer present, but the textile cable still has the original copper lamp holder with a ribbed texture.
High-quality linden wood.
Extraordinary carving quality.
Size 53 cm
Cable length approximately 110 cm.
Weight 1650 g
The figure shows age-related and usage-related signs of wear, which is common in vintage objects.
