Fasnachtshelge "Prima Oxner" is a 1957 unspecified by Max Rickenbacher-Hufschmid, depicting ethnology, held at Archaeology and Museum Baselland.
This drawing shows a cheerful, round-faced character with big glasses and a mustache. The figure’s head is shaped like a red bucket with a blue handle, and it’s wearing a light blue apron labeled "Prima Oxner." Around the character, there are playful doodles: a green bottle, a can of peaches, a loaf of bread, and a box of chocolates. Speech bubbles in German joke about work, champagne, and food. The name "Prima Oxner" hints at a local tradition or mascot—this might be a costume or character tied to a festival. The mix of everyday objects and humor suggests it’s meant to be fun and familiar. If you like this quirky style, check out the Museum of Ethnography for more cultural oddities.
