From the Collection of Dr. David A Hummel, (1893-1984). A Swedish medical doctor, explorer and resistance man during the World War II. The figure came to Sweden when David Hummel participated in the Sven Hedin expedition of 1927-1934, as the expiditions medic. He also participated in gathering plants, animals and mapping. After the WWII, he was awarded the Commander of the Order of St. Olav and the White Rose of Finland.
