Slideshow of Man Figure

The man figure, which is made of braces and struts, bears a resemblance to an abstract figure of a man with arms stretched and its legs spread apart. 

 

Head braces are short struts that extend diagonally from the frame to the vertical post or stand. They form the arms of a man figure.

 

Foot braces extend diagonally from the sill to the vertical post or stand. They, on the other hand, form the legs. If the foot braces are three-quarters of a story-high struts, they form the legs of the Hessenmann.
