Description
Box lock, mounted on a wooden panel, with meander-patterned fittings and key. The keyhole is secured by a movable human forearm.
Provenance
Formerly the Guben City Museum. Parts of the collection were apparently evacuated to Kossar (today: Kosierz) in 1942/43. The part of the collection that remained in Guben is said to have been looted between 1945 and 1948 and has been considered lost ever since.
