This statuette is made in the second half of the 16th century in Germany by an unknown artist.
The statuette represents the standing figure of a jester with a bauble in his right hand.
It is made of pipeclay, which is a fine white clay also used to make tobacco pipes and pottery. Conveniently situated on a major trading route, Siegburg was a centre of ceramic production with well-organised workshops and kilns in which also pipe-clay figures were fired.
