Kompel is the dialect word for a man working in a mine. The little statue says underneath Valkenburg, which is a small town in the province Limburg in the south of Holland.
Woodenbox from a fifties carpenter working place, inlay from an old door found in my neigboorhood, postcard from the thirties and coals from the local black smith.
