Busywork in Hell

Details:

One of my favourite things in Thailand are the depictions of the everlasting torture of sinning Westerners in Buddhist Hell. I loved this toy when I found and as soon as I uttered "but I don't know how to improve upon it" I realised that wood is among the most boring things to saw in perpetuity.

Made in Germany.
