Servant figure of a baker
A man is shown squatting in front of an oven on a rectangular base. He is dressed in a short kilt and wears a smooth short wig. His right leg is tucked underneath him, the bent left leg supports his left arm. His left hand is held against his head and the right fanned the fire inside the oven; this hand once held a stick but now only a hole through the hand remains. Above the fire several layers of bread have been piled up.
