Object description

Vaxfigur föreställande Sven Hedin. Figuren tillverkades till Svenska Panoptikon i två delar, överkropp och underkropp. Monterad på stativ. Kal hjässa, höga kindben, bruna ögon och mustasch. I händerna har han en kikare. Dockan är brunaktig. Kan upplevas som att han är solbränd.

Dockan ställdes ut ursprungligen tillsammans med en annan docka föreställande Islam Baj på Panoptikon. De stövlar dockan hade är samma stövlar Hedin bar under den så kallade dödsmarschen genom Taklamakan. (Odelberg 2008:514).

Important to know about the information in the online collection database

Users of the database are warned that some records may include language or terminology dating from the 19th and 20th centuries which depicted people in ways that are obsolete and/or offensive. We are conscious that the inclusion of such terminology is problematic. As an institution, we have chosen to include this historic information in our database because it is part of the documentation for the object, photograph, or archival item. Where known, objects associated with, or photographs depicting, ritual or ceremonial activity have been hidden in the publicly accessible database as there may be restrictions relating to the age, gender, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them. The database may also include the names of deceased persons, which could cause sadness or distress, particularly to relatives of these people.
