Pausen Echarpen
1850
From the collection of Archaeology and Museum Baselland
Pausen Echarpen is a 1850 by Unknown, depicting ethnology, held at Archaeology and Museum Baselland.
This drawing shows a bright yellow background with six small, dark purple shapes scattered across it. Each shape looks like a simple, stylized figure—maybe a person or animal—drawn in a loose, quick style. The lines are uneven, as if done by hand in a hurry. The figures seem to float without much detail, making them feel more like symbols than real things. There’s no clear story or setting here—just these shapes against the yellow.
