    "description": "This figure is part of a \"family\" of three figures thought to have been made for a physician so that his patients could point to what hurt. The figures were not meant to stand. Their feet are angled as they would be if they were lying down. In the 1600s, people did not take their clothes off for a doctor. A well-bred woman would have blushed even to describe a part of her body, but she could point to it.",
