Fasnachtshelge "Tschardastanz" is a 1957 unspecified by Max Rickenbacher-Hufschmid, depicting ethnology, held at Archaeology and Museum Baselland.
This painting shows a big bear sitting like a person, holding a small violin. A woman in a pink dress kneels beside it, playing a guitar. A pink rabbit lies on the ground, and a hammer and sickle symbol is drawn nearby. The background has a building with domes and some text in German. The bear’s face looks calm, but the scene feels oddly mixed—like a fairy tale with a political symbol. The text is playful, almost like a song or poem. Look up ethnology to see how cultures blend traditions and symbols like this.
