Ivory bust

There is a plaster model of a small bust of Dimfel in the Hamburg Museum of Art and Industry . Based on this model, Ludwig Lücke created an ivory bust eleven centimeters high, signed by LC Lück in 1747 , on a thirteen centimeter high wooden base. On December 12, 2009, this carving was auctioned at Bolland & Marotz in Bremen for 12,000 euros.
