My aim in setting up this blog is in exploring flats (zinnfiguren) as an art form. Once thought of as playthings, flats have evolved into very artistic pieces, created for and treasured by collectors. I prefer to explore flats in a contextual setting by putting them into shadow-box dioramas of artistic merit which can be reasonably contained within a manageable space. The chronology of this web blog will hopefully blaze a definite trail in this direction.

Kreta SilerSprung Set
I got this famous Hafer set thru Wilken. It depicts the art of bull jumping as found on the murals at Knossos.
I attach a picture of the drawings from the Hafer catalog for direct comparison to the actual figures.
