Description of the Drawing

Incense smokers are available in various designs. This braille drawing is based on a night watchman. The figure is shown in frontal view. The legs are standing on a base. The arms are pointing downwards and the hands are also included as part of the drawing. When they are made, their hands are usually spherical. In his left hand he holds a lantern, in his right hand a halberd (a hybrid form of cut and thrust weapon that belongs to the polearms). The night watchman also wears a hat on his head. Both eyes are hinted at on the face, as are nose and mouth, which serves as an opening for the smoke. A long beard can be felt towards its upper body.

This braille drawing was originally created for the non-profit organisation einfach machbar e. V. during the project “Blind Children Draw Pictures – Drawing with Letters” financed by the charity Aktion Mensch.
