Fasnachtshelge "Zur Kassa" is a 1957 unspecified by Max Rickenbacher-Hufschmid, depicting ethnology, held at Archaeology and Museum Baselland.
This painting shows a bright, flat-colored hand holding a brown, swirled object. The hand is split into yellow skin, green fingernails, and blue lines for veins. Below it, a red banner with black text reads "ZUR KASSA," shaped like a fish tail with star fins. The bold colors and simple shapes make it look like a playful sign. The text is German for "to the cash register," hinting this might be tied to a festival or celebration. Look up ethnology to see how objects like this fit into cultural traditions.
