Title: Curious question over identification
Post by: marko on October 06, 2025, 02:31:34 PM

Very curious what this represents.  It was engraved by Mohr and included with some other Medieval figures but, I don't believe it is part of the set?

Hello Mark,


this piece must be shaped, folding as in the picture attached (for example). A i remember it is part of the set "Osterspaziergang" (Mr Wolfgang Unger Catalog).


Have fun,


Claudio

That is very clever, what are the figures that go with it?

Figures are here https://www.intflatfigures.org/index.php?topic=5767.0 (https://www.intflatfigures.org/index.php?topic=5767.0)

This is the set I purchased with this structure.  The figures were used and I thought this piece was thrown in as looking about I found several other sets, none with this figure.

It is quite clever,

Mark

I'm not sure the piece is part of that set (die Dorfkirmes), Mark.
It is signed FKM and MO on the base. And a progressive number (III/21??) can be read, too. The set you linked is engraved by Otto.


I have to read Mohr books by Krannich one more, there is something about this piece.

Apologies I showed the wrong link.  https://www.intflatfigures.org/index.php?topic=5765.0 (https://www.intflatfigures.org/index.php?topic=5765.0)  This is the set the Easter Parade.  The Mohr drawings I have are in the link but, do not include the structure nor are they in the list of figures. 


Still curious…

Isn't it from the set of Spitzweg's Osterspaziergang? (Easter Stroll)
